In the year of 2020, Square Enix released the remake to the legendary Final Fantasy 7, and shook the world. Now, that same game and it’s Intergrade DLC will release onto both Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S!
Final Fantasy 7 needs little introduction, with how it reshaped and defined it’s era as one of the premier RPGs. The game had a lot to love and cement itself as one of the greater games of all time with it’s 3D graphics, strategic and customizable battle system, and memorable story and cast. It wasn’t a matter of if it would get a remake, rather it was a matter of when.
Eventually, Final Fantasy 7’s remake would release after years anticipation, and shake the gaming world. The new combat system utilizes the old ATB system in a more active manner, and the stunning graphics and perspective breathed life into the world of Gaia. The game was first released on Playstation, and remained an exclusive for quite a while.
However, with the older Final Fantasy games released onto more platforms, many expected the Remake to follow suit. Square Enix didn’t disappoint, as FF7 Remake Intergrade will soon drop onto Switch 2 and Xbox. Fans can expect the game to drop January 22, 2026, and some extra goodies if you choose to pre-order.
Those that pre-order won’t just receive the game, but will also get a copy of the original FF7 for free.

Whether your an old head or newcomer to Final Fantasy, this little gift is a welcome addition for anyone wanting to pre-order.
