Square Enix Slashes $85 for Full FF7 Remake Trilogy Ahead of Revelation

Square Enix is offering a limited-time digital bundle on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC that includes Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, priced at $85 and valid until Revelation’s release on April 7, 2027. The Revelation in this bundle isn’t the $100 version with early access or DLC. Remake Intergrade (~$40) and Rebirth (~$50) together cost more than the bundle, which saves about $5 compared with buying the first two separately; there’s no Switch 2 version of the deal yet.

FF7 Remake on Switch 2 hinges on key-card format to manage load and storage

Square Enix says Final Fantasy 7 Remake isn’t feasible on Nintendo Switch 2 without game-key cards because loading from a cartridge is too slow and cart storage is insufficient for the full game data; the key-card format allows high-speed storage access and data swapping during play. The company notes that, with Switch 2’s performance, a large-scale design like the game’s can be optimized per platform, which is why they released FF7 Remake as a key-card title and plan to bring FF7 Rebirth (and its trilogy) in a similar fashion. The Switch 2 version is already available, with Rebirth due in June.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake remains a strong, time-capsule experience on Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2, offering faithful ports with platform-specific quirks: the Xbox version mirrors the PS5 Intergrade experience but lacks haptic feedback and has slightly longer load times, offset by Quick Resume and Play Anywhere; the Switch 2 version uses DLSS upscaling and looks good for the hardware, though some textures appear dotty and hair styling is affected; the upcoming Rebirth sequel enhances the concepts, making Remake still worth playing now while anticipation builds for the final game in the trilogy.
