With Sony's move, we can now be pretty sure that Xbox does not figure among the "other platforms". Square Enix has a six-month exclusivity deal with Sony for this game with "other platforms" slated to get it only from Decemonwards.

It can be assumed that the title will eventually make it to the PC at least, but Square Enix is yet to confirm the same. However, this clause was apparently only intended for the PC version of the game, which is now available on Steam, and not for Xbox.įinal Fantasy XVI is launching as a PS5-exclusive on June 22, 2023. Some prominent examples of these agreements include Final Fantasy VII Remake (Square Enix), Bloodborne (From Software), the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI (Square Enix) and the recently announced Silent Hill 2 remastered (Bloober team)."įinal Fantasy 7 Remake was originally intended to be a timed exclusive for the PS5, with the hope that it will eventually make it to the Xbox. In addition to having outright exclusive content, Sony has also entered into arrangements with third-party publishers which require the “exclusion” of Xbox from the set of platforms these publishers can distribute their games on. Back in October, Microsoft confirmed to the UK CMA that Sony on it's part has set up permanent Xbox-exclusion deals for several titles on the PlayStation.Īccording to Microsoft, Sony has effectively prevented games such as Final Fantasy VII Remake (FF7R), Final Fantasy XVI (FFXVI), Bloodborne, and Silent Hill 2 remaster from coming to the Xbox. In the meantime, Final Fantasy fans can keep themselves busy with the remaster of FF7: Ever Crisis and FF7 Ever Crisis, which are coming out later this year.Microsoft's US$68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard is not going down well with regulators with the Redmond-giant having to respond to both the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the UK CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) on the need for the deal to go through. If Rebirth follows suit, Square Enix might ask the digital storefronts to include an SSD in the game's minimum system requirements. The PC port is still unconfirmed, but FF7 Remake is on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Having said that, we can't help but wonder how FF7 Rebirth will handle requiring an SSD on the PC. If Rebirth will utilize the capability of the PS5, we can expect great things from Rebirth.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was a rare showcase of the PS5's true capabilities as it let players transport between worlds seamlessly. The PS5 is a powerful console with a powerful proprietary SSD. FF7 Rebirth could be where everything changes drastically for the story of FF7 Remake trilogy. Either way, we are excited to see what Tetsuya Nomura has in store for audiences for the incoming sequel. As the party heads out of Midgar, Cloud and his friends will likely explore the rest of Gaia, or at least the rest of the eastern continent in Rebirth. Then again, the ending of FF7 Remake guaranteed this would happen. This doesn't necessarily confirm that FF7 Rebirth will have open-world elements, but it does hint at a more massive adventure lying ahead.
We felt we needed the specifications of PlayStation 5 to overcome that and travel the world comfortably." Since the adventure unfolds in a vast world after the escape from Midgar, loading stress is an extreme bottleneck. It's exclusive to PlayStation 5 because of the graphical quality, of course, as well as SSD access speed. Here is what Square Enix had to say in a compilation of interviews by Gematsu: We doubt anyone will complain once they find out why the second part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a PS5 exclusive. But, it appears that Square Enix has a very good reason for doing this.

Since Sony is expected to phase out the PS4 by 2023 or 2024, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Rebirth should be exclusive to the PS5. It would be easy to chalk up the PS5 exclusivity of the next Final Fantasy 7 installment to the natural life cycle of consoles. Square Enix is saying all the right things about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It only makes sense for the game's sequel to do the same as well. After all, Square Enix already made Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade exclusive to Sony's flagship console. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a PS5 exclusive, which probably should not surprise fans.
