We waited a long, long time for Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Xbox, but we won’t have to wait as long for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Announced today, Square Enix confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is dropping on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC, complete with Xbox Play Anywhere support, on June 3, 2026. Pre-orders are live here, complete with a pretty generous introductory discount.
Revealed today, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will hit all Xbox platforms via Xbox Play Anywhere, just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Microsoft and Square Enix have been partnering aggressively under the latter’s new CEO, collaborating on a wide variety of titles. Xbox is currently arguably the best place to play Final Fantasy as a result, playing home to more versions of Final Fantasy than other console platforms thanks to Xbox backward compatibility.
Dragon Quest VII remake also just hit Xbox Play Anywhere, joining the other recent Dragon Quest remakes and re-releases. Square Enix has a big publisher sale too on Xbox right now, with various titles anywhere up to 50% off.

Game director Naoki Hamaguchi noted on X today that Square Enix plans to share more updates on Final Fantasy 7’s remake projects than “ever before” this year, implying that we could see the third part fully revealed. There are plenty of good reasons to think Final Fantasy 7’s third remake will launch day and date on Xbox platforms, as Square Enix shifts away from timed exclusivity.
In a previous interview with us, Naoki Hamaguchi explained that its new CEO has been instrumental with moving the firm to multi-platform, to help Final Fantasy reach a bigger audience. “We have a new president at Square Enix, so we do have a new direction when it comes to multiplatform game releases. I believe that is the most vital point. The vision is to deliver Final Fantasy to a broader and wider audience through multiplatform releases, on multiple devices. Whether this is Xbox Cloud Gaming, console devices, or handheld PCs — that is very much now the core philosophy of Square Enix.”
