Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade Launches on Switch 2 in January, Trilogy Confirmed

Square Enix has officially set a release date for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on Nintendo’s Switch 2. The game will launch on January 22, 2026, and will arrive on the same day for Xbox Series X/S and PC. This marks the first time the Remake enters Nintendo and Xbox ecosystems after previously being tied to PlayStation. The Intergrade edition includes the full first game alongside the Yuffie DLC, offering a complete package for newcomers.

The announcement came following the Switch 2 reveal earlier this year, where Square Enix first hinted that the remake would reach Nintendo’s new platform. Now, the publisher has confirmed that not only is Intergrade on its way, but the full Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy will also be made available across Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. That means Rebirth, the second installment currently on PS5 and PC, and the yet-to-be-released third part are included in Square Enix’s multiplatform rollout plan.

This shift reflects Square Enix’s broader strategy since 2024, which has leaned heavily toward simultaneous releases across platforms after exclusive launches like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16 underperformed commercially. By bringing the remake series to more systems, Square Enix is positioning Final Fantasy 7 to reach a wider global audience, much like the original 1997 PlayStation release did when it became the franchise’s first title to launch worldwide.

Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, emphasized in a recent video that the Switch 2 has enough power to run the entire remake trilogy. He spoke about how the project carried personal meaning, recalling that the original Final Fantasy 7 inspired him to pursue a career in game development.

His comments further suggest that Square Enix intends to make the trilogy accessible to as many players as possible, rather than locking major installments behind timed exclusivity. While Rebirth is currently tied to PlayStation as a console exclusive, signs point to a Switch 2 port in development, and likely an eventual Xbox release.

The original Final Fantasy 7 was a turning point for both the franchise and Square as a company. Launched in 1997 on the PlayStation, it shifted the series into full 3D graphics, cinematic storytelling, and a broader global release strategy. Its narrative followed Cloud Strife and his allies as they confronted Shinra and Sephiroth in a story that blended science fiction with fantasy. The remake trilogy modernizes that story with real-time combat and expanded arcs, while aiming to honor the legacy that inspired both veteran fans and new players.

With Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade dated for January 22, 2026, and the trilogy confirmed for all major platforms, Square Enix has laid the foundation for one of the most ambitious cross-platform rollouts in the series’ history. The question now turns to the third installment: whether it will follow the same multiplatform path at launch or once again appear first on PlayStation before expanding.
