Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade demo releasing at the end of the year for Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will be getting a demo on Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of its launch on January 22, 2026 Naoki Hamaguchi from Square Enix confirmed in an interview with Inverse.

This was confirmed in a response to Inverse asking about how confident Naoki Hamaguchi was in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth running well on Switch 2 now that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is coming to Switch 2. You can find the relevant part of the response confirming the demo from the interview below:

We put a lot of our development resources into the optimization, and as a result of that, I think it’s a pretty great title that maximizes the Switch 2 specs. Also, I wanted to mention that at the end of the year, a demo is coming out for Switch 2 and Xbox. So players who might still be on the fence or unsure about playing, it’d be great for them to experience [the demo] and feel the full specs of these new consoles.
