That being said, fans will have to wait approximately three months after its initial release for it to make its way to other platforms.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake might not make it to the Xbox X and Nintendo Switch
A well-known and reliable video game leaker discussed Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. According to their information, Square Enix does not have any plans to release the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy on gaming platforms such as the Nintendo Switch or Xbox Series X. The leak was discussed on the FamiBoards forums in a conversation about potential games for the alleged Nintendo Switch’s successor.
The leak suggests that Square Enix prioritizes other projects. This could be the reason the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is not coming on Nintendo Switch or Xbox. NateDrake suggests that while it remains a possibility, it isn’t the publisher’s current focus. However, the chances of the game being ported to these platforms are highly unlikely.
The claims contradict earlier rumors and leaks. Fellow leakers previously suggested that the game could potentially arrive on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox platforms. While the aforementioned leaker has a reliable track record, it’s important to approach this information with caution. This is because Square Enix has not yet issued an official statement.
Currently, there is no official confirmation regarding a release on other systems. However, fans are encouraged to remain hopeful. With the possibility of a PC port of the game in the future, fans are advised to stay tuned for any updates.
NateDrake on the rumored Nintendo Switch 2
On the FamiBoards forums, NateDrake discusses the possibility of the rumored Nintendo Switch 2. The sources suggest that Nintendo has been handing out the dev kits for the alleged device. However, Nintendo has yet to announce any official news about the console.
The person, being an insider on gaming news, suggests that Nintendo is actually working on the Switch 2. Nate also stated that players will be able to run The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the new console. The leak stated that the game will be playable in 4K resolution at 60FPS.
Insiders and leakers have also speculated about the potential inclusion of a custom DLSS version. This would enhance performance and put the Switch 2 on par with the Xbox Series S. There are also speculations of the handheld having similar specs as the ROG Ally.
While all the information so far is just speculation and rumors, it is crucial to wait for an official statement. As Square Enix gets ready for the launch of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, fans cannot hold back their excitement. With the devs preparing for the launch in Feb and ports in May, fans will have to wait to see what is in store for them.
