The development of the final chapter of the "Final Fantasy 7" remake trilogy continues, and the game has been confirmed to be released on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.However, supervisor Naoki Hamaguchi is not worried about cross-platform development efforts, although the Xbox version's "out of memory" problem did cause "some troubles."
In an interview, Hamaguchi Naoki said that the third game in the trilogy "has a dedicated development team for each platform, so our cross-platform development plan will not have any impact on the development work."Overall development is progressing "very smoothly" and this also applies to the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Rebirth, but "like many other publishers, I think the Xbox version does suffer from a lack of memory compared to other platforms."
Of course, he didn't specify whether this issue originated with the Xbox Series S.The performance requirements of synchronizing with the console have caused problems for other games, such as Baldur's Gate 3 - which eventually canceled the split-screen co-op mode when it was released on the Xbox Series S platform - and Black Myth: Wukong, which was also affected by this.
As for the Switch 2 version, he said: "We actually have a major development team that is fully committed to this. Therefore, I think we are quite confident in the final product. "Final Fantasy 7: Remake Chapter" has received a lot of praise before, so I also hope that players can look forward to the Switch 2 version."
"Final Fantasy 7: Remake Part 3" has not yet announced a release date, but according to creative director Tetsuya Nomura, the release time of the game "has been determined" and Square Enix is also advancing related work as planned."Final Fantasy 7: Remake Chapter" will be launched on Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2 platforms on January 22, 2026.The release window of "Rebirth" has not yet been announced, please stay tuned for subsequent updates.
