Final Fantasy 16, which was released as a PlayStation 5 exclusive in 2023, received a PC version a year later. Recently, Square Enix announced a version for the Xbox Series X|S, along with plans to bring Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade to Microsoft’s console as well.
Despite Yoshida and Maehiro’s comments leaving some uncertainty, rumors circulating since April have indicated that Final Fantasy VII Remake could be released on the Nintendo Switch 2. If this rumor is confirmed, it would be reasonable to anticipate that Final Fantasy XVI might also be available on Nintendo’s console.
The releases of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16 on Xbox and Switch 2 align with the strategy announced by Square Enix last year, when the company declared it would pursue a multiplatform approach aggressively following underwhelming sales of its PlayStation 5 exclusives.
