Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade may have made its PlayStation 5 debut back in 2021, but now, the expanded version of the remake of the popular JRPG is getting ready to launch on other consoles next month, and in advance of the launch of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2 next year, Square Enix has released a free demo of the game that’s available now on both Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox (Series X|S and Xbox for PC).

In the demo, players can experience the game’s opening chapter, in which the mercenary Cloud Strife and the underground resistance group Avalanche attempt to destroy a Mako Reactor powering the dystopian city of Midgar. In their fight against the shadowy Shinra Electric Power Company, Cloud and his comrades are thrust into a larger conflict that will decide the fate of the planet. Players with demo save data on their console can claim the bonus items “Revival Earrings” and “Survival Set” in the full game. Players will be able to carry their save data from the demo over to the full game, which launches on January 22, 2026.

For a limited time, those who pre-order the digital edition of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 or Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC will also receive the original Final Fantasy VII. Players on Xbox can download and play Final Fantasy VII immediately after a pre-order purchase, while Nintendo Switch 2 players can play from January 22, 2026. This limited-time bonus runs until January 31, 2026.

Those who preorder the physical edition of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Nintendo Switch 2 will also receive a Magic: The Gathering – Final Fantasy Play Booster. Each Play Booster containing 15 randomly assorted cards.
