Jan 21, 2026Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Xbox Series X is one of the most polished versions of the game, featuring additional improvements and modern refinements. While it remains fundamentally the same title released in 2020, it is still a must-play for RPG fans.

Jan 21, 2026If you haven’t had a chance to jump into the new Final Fantasy VII trilogy then Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the perfect starting point. It includes not only everything that has been released so far, is now available for all modern platforms but also benefits from the fantastic Streamline Progressions (which will be available everywhere) that offer more accessibility than ever for the title.

Feb 2, 2026After a long wait for Xbox owners, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade delivers a stunning experience that blends spectacular action with strategic depth and respect for its roots. It expands the original’s world and characters with strong pacing and cinematic flair. A rushed, disconnected finale and heavy reliance on prior knowledge slightly undermine the impact, but it remains a compelling, must-play title.

Jan 22, 2026A truly magnificent game, you'll soon forget that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is based upon only a small sliver of the original – it's astonishingly epic in its own right, with plenty of surprises.

Jan 21, 2026As it is right now, Xbox is the only platform where you can play every single mainline Final Fantasy game, barring, of course, the sequel to this one: Rebirth. But that’ll come in due time, so the point still stands. What is that point, you ask? Pretty simple, really. Xbox is the premier place to play Final Fantasy on consoles, and Final Fantasy VII Remake is a JRPG worth purchasing for fans and non-fans of the genre alike.

Jan 21, 2026Final Fantasy VII Remake remains a deeply ambitious work, torn between homage and reinvention. It shines in its combat system, artistic direction and character development, but stumbles in its pacing, narrative filler and technical choices that are now showing their age. In this Xbox Series X version, the game is neither a failure nor outdated, but it is clearly not aligned with 2026's standards. If you've already completed the game on PlayStation or PC, there's no real reason to start the adventure again on Xbox. However, for those discovering this Remake, FF7 remains a must-play, even in 2026.
