It has been a little over three years since Final Fantasy VII Remake came out. While the game first came out on PlayStation 4, it was then expanded to be on PC and PS5 as well. However, the game never came out on Xbox. So, let’s clear up the air: What is the gossip about Final Fantasy VII Remake on Xbox?
Before we dive into this, let’s first make one thing clear: Final Fantasy VII Remake is not a PlayStation-exclusive game. It has cross-platform support as a timed exclusive. It means it was only released for PS4 for some time before it was also released on other platforms. Nonetheless, the rivalry between Sony and Microsoft may shape our expectations regarding the future.
