FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE heads to more platforms with new features
Bandai Namco Asia and Square Enix have revealed the expanded edition, FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE, is headed to Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox on PC with Xbox Play Anywhere. A physical Wii version lands in Southeast Asia on January 22, 2026. Preorders are open for Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S.
A free demo opens doors to the full journey
Alongside the date reveal, a no-cost demo is live on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox PC with Play Anywhere. Save data from the demo carries over to the full game when it launches. The trial lets players try the famous opening scene, where Cloud Strife teams up with Avalanche to strike a Mako Reactor in the city of Midgar. They face Shinra Electric Power Company in a fight that soon expands into a larger clash over the planet’s fate. If you carry a demo save, you’ll grab some bonus items in the full game: Revival Earrings and Survival Set.
How to grab the demo for each system
Nintendo Switch 2 users can download the demo by entering a code in the eShop’s Redeem Code section. Codes vary by region:

A simpler path to the game with Streamlined Progression
A new feature, Streamlined Progression, is designed for Switch 2 and Xbox players. It makes battles easier by removing some pressure. Expect unlimited MP and HP in fights, unlimited limits and ATB gages, a 9,999 damage cap, easier weapon ability picks, and more. The goal is to let you focus on the story and the hybrid fight system.
Pre-orders bring useful bonuses for fans
Those who lock in a digital copy of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE on Switch 2 or Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC will get the original FINAL FANTASY VII game as a limited-time bonus. On Xbox, you can download and play the classic title right after purchase; Switch 2 players can start playing on January 22, 2026. This offer runs through January 31, 2026, so get in early. In addition, the Nintendo Switch 2 physical edition will include a Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY Play Booster pack, a neat surprise for card fans and collectors.
A fresh look at a familiar world
FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE remains a strong entry point for new players. It reimagines a beloved game with modern visuals and a smoother flow, while keeping the core story intact. The new look and refined combat add depth without losing the magic of the original. It blends cinematic scenes with fast, thoughtful battles, making it feel both epic and personal. It’s a modern remake that still respects what made the first game so memorable.
What you actually play in INTERGRADE
You follow Cloud Strife, a former soldier now working with Avalanche to topple Shinra in a city powered by Mako energy. The plot pushes you into a wider struggle that could decide the planet’s future. INTERGRADE adds FFVII RING Episode INTERmission, a side tale that puts Yuffie Kisaragi in the spotlight as she slips into Midgar during the main story. This extra arc adds new threads and fresh action to the build.
A multi-platform plan for the FINAL FANTASY VII remake saga
Square Enix confirms the whole FINAL FANTASY VII remake line will land on more platforms. The trio’s final chapter is in the works, rounding out the series across Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. The second game, FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH, has earned wide praise, pulling in many perfect scores and major awards. It is already available on PC and PS5, with the next steps clearly mapped out.
A quick look at the series’ lasting appeal
