Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Could Go Multiplatform at Launch
Final Fantasy 7 Remake continues its strong multiplatform momentum, and a new rumor points to a major shift in launch strategy for the trilogy’s final chapter.
Rumor suggests the end of PlayStation launch exclusivity for Final Fantasy 7 Remake
According to Windows Central, a new report claims that Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 could launch simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. If accurate, this would be the first time a Final Fantasy 7 Remake title skips PlayStation exclusivity at launch.
The report comes from industry insider and content creator Nate the Hate, who has previously shared accurate platform and release information. He speculates that Square Enix could hint at this strategy during a Nintendo Direct in 2026, potentially alongside broader multiplatform announcements.
Square Enix rethinks exclusivity strategy
The rumor aligns with earlier comments from Square Enix indicating that timed exclusivity may no longer make sense. The publisher previously acknowledged that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth underperformed as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, sparking internal discussions about expanding platform availability.
Multiplatform success already showing results
There is already evidence that this approach can work. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade performed strongly on Xbox, debuting high on digital storefront charts and reinforcing confidence in broader releases.
Adding to the speculation, the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo recently received an update on Nintendo Switch 2. Insider information also continues to point toward a future Xbox release for Rebirth, possibly as early as this summer.
For now, Square Enix has not confirmed any of these plans. Until an official announcement arrives, all details around Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 remain speculative. Still, the signs suggest the trilogy’s finale could arrive on more platforms than ever before, right from day one.
