The gaming community has become very excited because Jez Corden’s predictions remain unconfirmed by Microsoft and Square Enix.

A Shift in Square Enix’s Multi-Platform Strategy

The Final Fantasy series has maintained a strong connection with Sony and its PlayStation consoles throughout its history. The partnership between Final Fantasy and Sony started when Final Fantasy 7 launched on the original PlayStation and remains strong with contemporary exclusive titles. 

Square Enix decided to launch major games Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 16 only on PS4 and PS5 platforms which did not include Xbox.

The publisher seems to be shifting its strategy to embrace multiple platforms. The three rumored titles have been released on PC while Nintendo Switch 2 will receive Final Fantasy 7 Remake before Xbox gets it. The situation may shift shortly should these reports prove accurate.
