Square Enix has confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S on June 3, 2026, ending its two-year stretch as a PlayStation 5 timed exclusive, per GameSpot, VGC and Nintendo Life coverage of the publisher’s recent showcase. The title originally launched on PS5 in February 2024, came to PC in January 2025, and now joins the rapidly expanding list of formerly PlayStation-exclusive Square Enix titles being multi-platformed — a pattern that already includes Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade.

The Switch 2 port is the more technically significant of the two releases. Rebirth is a sprawling open-area JRPG whose PS5 build pushed dynamic resolution, large draw distances and dense particle effects, and Square Enix has not publicly described the visual concessions the Switch 2 version will make. Nintendo Life notes the title is being framed as a flagship third-party launch alongside the May 21 Yoshi exclusive, slotting Switch 2 into a window where it will share a same-day release with Xbox for the first time on a single-player Final Fantasy entry.

The June 3 date also lines up the Switch 2 and Xbox versions for cross-promotion with the still-untitled third installment in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, which Square Enix has confirmed is in active development for both PS5 and PC. For Switch 2 owners, Rebirth slots between Forza Horizon 6 (May 19, Xbox/PC; Switch 2 release later), the Stray native port (May 28) and the late-May 007 First Light launch — completing what will be the platform’s busiest third-party month since launch.
