Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Switch 2 June 3

Square Enix has set June 3, 2026 as the Nintendo Switch 2 release date for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, according to the publisher’s news post and Nintendo’s U.S. store listing. The date matches earlier reporting that had circulated in gaming press, but the official listings add an important detail: Rebirth is not being positioned as a Switch 2 exclusive. Square Enix said the game is also coming the same day to Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC. Nintendo’s store page describes Rebirth as the second game in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy and lists a downloadable demo for the Switch 2 version. Square Enix’s North America store has the Switch 2 edition available for pre-order starting at $49.99. ### Is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth actually a Switch 2 exclusive? (na.finalfantasy.com) Square Enix’s February announcement says no. The publisher said Rebirth is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC on June 3, 2026, alongside Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox Cloud Gaming support. That directly contradicts claims that the game is a Switch 2-only release. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s own store page also stops short of calling Rebirth exclusive. It lists the game simply as a Nintendo Switch 2 release, while Square Enix’s announcement names the additional Xbox platforms. ### What else is on Nintendo’s near-term Switch 2 schedule? Nintendo’s current first-party calendar shows Star Fox arriving on June 25, 2026 as a Switch 2 exclusive. (na.finalfantasy.com) The company’s store listing calls it a “cinematic reimagining” of Star Fox 64, and a Nintendo news post says the game was announced during a May 6 Star Fox Direct. (nintendo.com) Nintendo has also set Splatoon Raiders for July 23, 2026. Nintendo’s official pages in multiple regions describe it as launching exclusively for Switch 2, and the game is framed as a single-player-focused Splatoon spinoff featuring Deep Cut. (nintendo.com) ### Why did the original claim spread? GameLuster’s upgrade guide grouped Rebirth with Star Fox and Splatoon Raiders in a rundown of notable Switch 2 software. But official publisher and platform listings show only the latter two are being marketed as exclusives, while Rebirth is a broader multiplatform release on the same date. (nintendo.com) Third-party pickup was broad after Nintendo’s February partner showcase. Square Enix, Gematsu, RPG Site and Nintendo’s own video upload all carried the June 3 date for the Switch 2 version. ### What does the June lineup look like right now? June 3 is currently the first major date in that stretch, with Rebirth landing at the start of the month. (na.finalfantasy.com) June 5 is the scheduled kickoff for Summer Game Fest 2026, which could bring more release-date announcements across the industry. June 11 is also set for the Early Access launch of STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions on Switch 2 and other platforms. (gematsu.com) June 25 is Nintendo’s next confirmed first-party marker with Star Fox, followed by Splatoon Raiders on July 23. As of May 22, those are among the clearest dated releases on Nintendo’s official Switch 2 slate. ### What should readers watch next? (na.finalfantasy.com) June 3 is the next concrete milestone, when Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is due on Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC. Nintendo’s next dated first-party release after that is Star Fox on June 25, with Splatoon Raiders following on July 23. (na.finalfantasy.com) (nintendo.com)
