Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Surprise Drop Adds Free Downloadable Content

by

Players who are getting ready to play on new gaming systems will get a head start with some bonus free content, making the complete game more accessible.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was first released on PlayStation 5 in 2024, with a version for Windows PCs following in 2025. While sales didn’t meet Square Enix’s goals, many players felt this was because it was only available on one platform. Now, the game is expanding to other consoles, launching on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S on June 3, 2026.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Now Available On Xbox Series X/S & Nintendo Switch 2

I was so excited to hear that a demo for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally out! It dropped on April 28, 2026, and it’s available on both the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S. You can play through the first two chapters, including that amazing Nibelheim flashback we all love.

If you enjoy the game demo, you’ll be able to carry your progress over to the full version. Just be aware that the demo is quite large – 40GB – especially if you’re playing on Nintendo Switch 2. The complete game will require even more space, over 100GB, so make sure you have enough storage!

The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Demo Comes With Free In-Game Items

The Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo offers bonus items that you can use in the full game. These include the Kupo Charm, which helps you find more crafting materials while exploring, and the Survival Set, a bundle of helpful healing items like Potions and Ethers.

The Kupo Charm and Survival Set can be helpful when you first start playing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but you don’t need them to finish the game. If you’d rather skip the demo and go straight to the full version, you’ll still be able to complete the story without these items.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was a highly anticipated game, so it’s disappointing that it didn’t sell as well as expected when it came out. Many people have been trying to figure out why, since the PlayStation 5 has a large player base, even as of 2024.

If Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is very successful on PlayStation and Xbox, Square Enix might be more willing to release future games on multiple platforms. This is especially likely with the last game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy coming up. Fans are hoping this will lead to more Final Fantasy titles being available on the upcoming Switch 2.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will arrive on Switch 2 on June 3, 2026, and .
