The Final Fantasy Invasion of Xbox is Apparently Gaining Steam

According to Corden, discussions are underway to bring FF7 Remake, presumably the upgraded version, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, to the Xbox Series S/X, although he believes Xbox might delay the official announcement of the port to avoid overshadowing the upcoming release of FF7 Rebirth. This sequel, scheduled for release on February 29, continues the narrative of the remake and, like its predecessor, will initially launch as a PlayStation exclusive.

The planned Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a reimagining of the 1997 classic title, Final Fantasy 7. It's one of the best-selling PS5 exclusives to date, well-received for its modernized gameplay, expanded story, and cutting-edge graphics.

With that said, it's important to note that these are still just rumors. There has been no official confirmation from Square Enix or Microsoft regarding Final Fantasy 7 Remake coming to Xbox. However, given the game's popularity and the potential for an Xbox release to move the needle, fans would love to see this move happen.

Aside from acquiring ZeniMax Media and Activision Blizzard, Xbox has been making the necessary moves to improve its presence in Japan. Securing these kinds of deals with Square Enix could open the door for other similar agreements and even, potentially, exclusivity contracts, that would go a long way in boosting the sales of the Xbox Series S/X.

Ultimately, it's still unclear when FF7 Remake and FF16 are coming to Xbox, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the two parties involved, Square Enix and Xbox, want these games there. Hopefully, we'll see both titles arrive on Xbox not long after FF16 arrives on PC.
