Final Fantasy 16’s Xbox Release Announcement is Imminent, It's Claimed

An insider has claimed that Final Fantasy 16’s Xbox release announcement will arrive soon. The game’s release seemingly is planned for the “first half of 2025.” The leaker also revealed details about Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth.

Spotted by IdleSlothVGT on X, NateTheHate recently spoke about Final Fantasy 16’s release plans for Xbox on ResetEra. According to Nate, the announcement should come shortly, but “not in the near future” if the developers aren’t implementing any “late changes”. Also, Final Fantasy 16 is scheduled to release for Xbox in the first half of 2025, “spring basically”.

Nate also spoke about Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth’s release plans on Xbox. The first instalment from Square Enix’s Remake Project is scheduled to arrive for Xbox “later this year,” and Rebirth is planned for 2026. Nate is unsure about the time but speculates that Final Fantasy Remake, Rebirth and FFXVI for Xbox “will be announced at the same time for maximum impact”.

NateTheHate also mentioned Final Fantasy’s plans for Nintendo’s highly anticipated console, the Switch 2. It seems that the developers have decided to prioritise Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth for the Switch 2 over Final Fantasy 16. Regardless, it is exciting to see Final Fantasy embrace a multi-platform future for the franchise.

In other news, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth broke the franchise’s single-player record on Steam. Also, the third part of the Remake Project will be released on a ‘wide range of platforms’.
