According to prominent insider NateTheHate on a recent episode of his podcast, several games are going multiplatform soon. According to the leaker, Final Fantasy VII Remake will launch on Xbox and Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2025, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will follow in 2026. Additionally, he claims that notable longtime Xbox titles Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 and Halo Master Chief Collection are coming to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 sometime this year. It’s worth noting these are just claims and have yet to be confirmed. However, a recent report by Jez Corden corroborates these claims as “most likely true” citing the site’s own sources, and adds that Hellblade 2, Age of Mythology, and “potentially” Gears of War 1 Ultimate Edition are all also slated for PlayStation 5 this year too. The PC version of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will launch on January 23 via Steam and Epic Games Store.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth details:
PC Features
The PC version introduces new features and customizations to take full advantage of the platform:
Lighting – Lighting has been adjusted, and the game’s overall rendering of light is significantly improved. The updated areas and cutscenes present with even greater beauty and clarity than before.
Frame Rate and Resolution – NVIDIA DLSS support means that frame rates can be enhanced and image quality upscaled. There is now also support for variable refresh rate (VRR).
Textures – The Level of Detail (LoD) for background models and MIP maps for background textures can both be freely configured in the options settings. With this background polygon density and texture density can be set higher than was previously possible, allowing for gameplay with higher-quality graphics.
Controller Input Support
Connecting a DualSense® controller with a PC allows players to use the same controls as the PS5 version. Keyboard and mouse support has also been added, alongside the option to freely customize the controls between world exploration and combat or mini-games.
Steam Deck
The Steam version is planned to be playable on Steam Deck as well.
