Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo live

Square Enix released a free Final Fantasy VII Rebirth demo on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox PC on Tuesday, April 28. (polygon.com) (xbox.com) The Xbox store listing says the demo lets players go from the start of the game through the end of Chapter 2, “A New Journey Begins.” The same listing says it supports Xbox Play Anywhere, 4K Ultra HD, HDR10, cloud saves, and 60 frames per second or more on supported hardware. (xbox.com) RPG Site reported that save data from the demo can be carried into the full game when it launches June 3. Polygon also reported the June 3 release date for the new Switch 2 and Xbox versions. (rpgsite.net) (polygon.com) Rebirth is the second game in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, picking up after the party leaves Midgar. Square Enix’s official game page says the title is already available on PlayStation 5 and PC, with preorders open for Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2. (square-enix-games.com) That makes Tuesday’s demo less a first reveal than a platform expansion push. Nintendo players got Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade earlier this year, and Rebirth is the next step in bringing the remake project to more systems. (polygon.com 1) (polygon.com 2) Square Enix said in February that Rebirth would come to Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S on June 3, 2026. Xbox Wire’s archive page also lists the June 3 release announcement for Microsoft’s platforms. (square-enix.com) (news.xbox.com) The demo gives players an early look at how Rebirth runs on Switch 2 hardware and on Xbox outside its earlier PlayStation 5 and PC releases. The full release lands in five weeks, on June 3. (polygon.com)
