After revealing that the closing instalment of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy will not remain tethered to PS5, director Naoki Hamaguchi shared a message, expressing that he’s “genuinely thankful a broader audience can now step into the universe we’ve crafted with passion”.

He continued: “Our team is determined to let fans tackle every Part however best fits their daily routine.”

Original Report: The finale of Square Enix’s sprawling Final Fantasy 7 Remake narrative will not be locked to PS5.

The Tokyo-based company has hinted at this shift for months, yet officially declared on social channels that the third episode will arrive day-and-date on PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The saga’s opener was famously marketed as a PS4-only console title, arriving in 2020 before landing on PS5 and PC the next year; it is slated to reach Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 on 22 January 2026.

Its follow-up, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, debuted in 2024 as a PS5-only release and jumped to PC earlier this year.

Square Enix has repeatedly stated that Rebirth’s commercial performance fell short of hopes, a shortfall that fuelled its cross-platform pivot.

Truthfully, that strategy now blankets the whole catalogue: even titles such as Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, unveiled earlier today, are headed to all systems.

It remains to be seen how extra hardware support will sway the trilogy’s trajectory. A wider install base is guaranteed, yet persuading newcomers to jump straight into the third act of a remake epic is still a tall order.

No launch date, screenshots or trailers have surfaced for the closing entry; still, a recent livestream reassured followers that development is advancing smoothly.
