The long-awaited arrival of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 in early 2026 opens up the beloved adventure to a whole new audience. For players who prefer a more relaxed experience, a new “Streamlined Progression” option makes it easier than ever to enjoy the rich narrative without the stress of difficult combat.
This mode goes far beyond traditional easy settings, offering players unlimited MP and HP at all times. During battles, both the limit and ATB gauges remain constantly full, and every attack delivers a massive 9,999 points of damage. Weapon abilities charge more quickly, and with only a few exceptions, your inventory will always be stocked to the maximum. Best of all, you can toggle this feature on or off anytime directly from the main menu, giving you full control over your gameplay experience.
Square Enix has also shared enticing preorder incentives for the multi-platform launch. Those who secure the digital edition will receive a complimentary copy of the original Final Fantasy 7, available for download until January 31, 2026. Fans opting for the physical version will find a special bonus inside: a Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Play Booster pack containing 15 collectible cards.
Looking further ahead, the studio has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will also eventually make its way to Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, though a specific release date has not yet been announced. Producer Tetsuya Nomura recently indicated that Square Enix already has plans for when the final chapter of the remake trilogy will be officially unveiled.
While the wait continues, several other exciting JRPGs are on the horizon to keep fans engaged. Titles like Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, and Octopath Traveler 0 offer plenty of opportunities to dive into immersive worlds and strategic gameplay.
