You can read his statement in full below, via X<\/a> (or Twitter<\/a>):<\/p>\n

The FFVII REMAKE series will be expanding to major platforms moving forward.

Original Story: The conclusion to Square Enix\u2019s epic and ongoing Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/a> saga will not be a PS5 exclusive.<\/p>\n

The Japanese publisher has been foreshadowing this for quite some time<\/a>, but it confirmed on social media<\/a> that the third instalment will launch simultaneously on PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrives on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC on January 22, 2026.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not all, the remake trilogy will also be making its way to Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC as well as PlayStation 5, Steam and Epic Games Store! pic.twitter.com\/enXiLOIstV<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 FINAL FANTASY VII (@finalfantasyvii) September 12, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n

The first game in the saga was famously announced as a PS4 console exclusive, where it released in 2020. It was later ported to the PS5 and PC in 2021, and will eventually deploy on Xbox Series X|S and on Switch 2 on 22nd January, 2026.<\/p>\n

The sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth<\/a>, launched in 2024 as a PS5 exclusive, and was ported to the PC earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Square Enix has reiterated on various occasions that it wasn\u2019t satisfied with the sales of the sequel, which has sparked its multiformat push<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To be fair, this seems to extend to its entire library, as games like Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined<\/a> \u2013 announced earlier today \u2013 have also been revealed for everything.<\/p>\n

It\u2019ll be interesting to see how the addition of more platforms affects the series\u2019 fortunes. Clearly, it\u2019ll be reaching a larger audience than it would have done as a PlayStation exclusive, but it\u2019s still asking a lot of consumers to show up for the third entry in a remake saga.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no word on when the concluding chapter will release by the way, or any assets or screenshots. But in a recent livestream<\/a>, Square Enix said that the project has been progressing well.<\/p>\n
