Square Enix confirmed it on na.finalfantasy.com: Final Fantasy VII Revelation launches April 8, 2027, on Xbox Series X|S. PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC get it the same day. If you’ve watched this trilogy skip past Xbox for years, this is the date that finally matters.
It’s the first mainline entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy confirmed for Xbox on day one. No waiting. No “coming later” footnote.
What Xbox Announced
Square Enix’s news post says the game “launches on April 8, 2027, across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and XBOX on PC.” That confirms an earlier reveal from Summer Game Fest Live. A Business Wire press release dated June 6, 2026 first named a “Spring 2027” window across those same platforms. April 8 narrows that window to one exact day. Pure Xbox and Windows Central both back up the date.
The key detail for Xbox readers is the platform list itself. Square Enix lists “XBOX Series X|S” and “XBOX on PC” as separate entries. Neither reads like an afterthought. That’s a real shift from how the first two chapters reached Xbox hardware.
Who This Affects
This affects anyone with an Xbox Series X or Series S who’s been waiting to play the trilogy without buying a PS5. It also affects PC players using the Xbox app on Windows or the Xbox on PC storefront. That store is listed separately from Steam and Epic Games Store. Game Pass subscribers should note one thing: nothing in Square Enix’s materials mentions Game Pass day-one inclusion. Right now, this is a paid release, not a confirmed Game Pass title.
The Details
Here’s what separates this launch from the rest of the trilogy, and what’s still an open question.
Breaking the PlayStation-first pattern. Final Fantasy VII Remake launched on PlayStation 4 in April 2020. Its Xbox Series X|S debut, as the “Intergrade” version, didn’t arrive until January 22, 2026 — nearly six years later. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launched on PS5 in February 2024; Windows followed about eleven months after that, but Xbox Series X|S didn’t get it until June 3, 2026, more than two years after the PS5 launch. Revelation breaks that pattern entirely. Square Enix’s press materials describe a launch across every listed platform at once. There’s no staggered exclusivity window for Xbox this time.
Xbox Play Anywhere and Smart Delivery are not confirmed. Square Enix’s platform list names “XBOX on PC” as its own entry, separate from Steam and Epic Games Store. Some outlets, including Windows Central, read that as a possible signal for Xbox Play Anywhere. That’s Microsoft’s cross-buy, cross-save feature. It lets one purchase work on both console and Windows PC. It’s outlet speculation, though, not an official statement from Square Enix or Xbox. Same goes for Smart Delivery, the feature that installs the right version for your Xbox hardware automatically. No official source uses that term for Revelation yet. Treat both as unconfirmed until the Xbox Store page or a Square Enix statement says so directly.
US and EU pricing is now official. Square Enix’s Japanese press release lists a standard edition price of 9,900 yen, tax included, for the Japan market. In the US, the standalone Revelation edition is listed at $69.99 on the Xbox Store, and the FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series Trilogy Edition bundle — which includes Remake Intergrade, Rebirth, and Revelation — is listed at $84.99. Premium and Premium Plus editions are listed at $99.99 and $109.99. Pre-orders are live now on the Xbox Store.
A related Xbox Store listing already exists. Microsoft’s Xbox Store carries a product page for “FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series Trilogy Edition.” Its release date field reads 4/8/2027, matching the date Square Enix confirmed for Revelation; a separate April 7, 2027 date on the same page marks the pre-order discount cutoff, not the release date, so treat April 8 as the actual launch day and April 7 strictly as a bonus-eligibility deadline. The listing bundles the trilogy rather than selling Revelation as a standalone SKU, and it now shows both pricing ($84.99) and an itemized breakdown of the three included games. Bookmark it for further Xbox-specific updates.
Platform notes
Xbox: Xbox Series X|S is listed by name as a day-one platform. No Xbox-specific SKU name, Smart Delivery badge, or storage requirement has been published yet. Check the Xbox Store listing above for updates as launch nears.
PlayStation: PlayStation 5 remains a launch platform, continuing the series’ original home. But Revelation doesn’t repeat the PlayStation-exclusive launch window that Remake and Rebirth had.
Nintendo Switch 2: Switch 2 is also named as a day-one platform for Revelation, though it’s not the trilogy’s first appearance on Nintendo hardware — Rebirth already arrived on Switch 2 on June 3, 2026. No separate Switch 2 edition or pricing details have surfaced beyond the same April 8, 2027 date.
What To Do Next
Bookmark two pages and check back as launch nears. First: Square Enix’s official Revelation game page, for further edition updates. Second: the Xbox Store “FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series Trilogy Edition” listing, for Xbox-specific SKU details. Don’t pre-order based on assumed Xbox Play Anywhere or Smart Delivery support. Wait for either term to show up on the Xbox Store page or in an Xbox Wire post before you treat it as real. Weighing whether to catch up on the earlier chapters first? Xbox owners can already play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Series X|S. That’s a solid way to get ready for Revelation.
Wrapping Up
Final Fantasy VII Revelation is confirmed for Xbox Series X|S on April 8, 2027. That’s day one, alongside every other major platform. No more waiting years behind a PlayStation exclusivity window.
US pricing is now confirmed on the Xbox Store: $69.99 for the standalone edition, $84.99 for the Trilogy Edition bundle. What’s still open is whether Xbox Play Anywhere or Smart Delivery actually apply. Until Square Enix or Microsoft says so directly, treat those as open questions, not features.
