Rumour: Final Fantasy 7 Remake & Rebirth Supposedly 'Confirmed' For Xbox In 2025 / 2026

We've reported on a rumour today from Nate the Hate's podcast about a couple of Xbox first-party titles jumping over to the PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, but something else he mentioned related to the Final Fantasy series on Xbox.

Even though the podcast is titled "predictions", he mentions at one point that he "can confirm" Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth will be coming to Xbox in 2025 and 2026 respectively. Here's the full quote:

"I think following the announcement of Final Fantasy 16 [for Xbox], we will see Square Enix confirm that Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be coming to Xbox. Now, my speculation is that this announcement will take place at the Developer Direct. I want to make that part clear."

"But, I can confirm that Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be coming to Xbox. Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be released in 2025, Rebirth will follow in 2026. These games will also be coming to Nintendo Switch 2."

As referenced, there is another part to this as well. Although he doesn't confirm it, Nate says that he's "kind of expecting" to see Final Fantasy 16 at the Xbox Developer Direct event this month - with the game even potentially getting shadow dropped on the same day. Again though, this seems to be leaning more towards a prediction.

We don't have long to find out if Final Fantasy does show up at the Xbox Developer Direct, as that event takes place in less than two weeks on January 23rd. Whatever the case may be, we're hoping this rumour is along the right lines!
