The entire Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S (with Part 3 also coming to PC and PS5), and it all starts with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade. Launching on January 22nd, 2026, it offers the base game, Episode INTERmission starring Yuffie and other enhancements.
However, it seems that Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S players can avail an exclusive set of options under Streamlined Progression. As revealed by Square Enix on Twitter, one can enable Constant Max HP, Constant Max MP, Constant Max Damage, Constant Max Gil, and more. Keeping the ATB and Limit Gauges constantly full is also possible, and you can max out Material Levels immediately.
Perhaps the best option to reduce grinding is Easy Weapon Ability Acquisition, which allows for learning abilities on different weapons after using them only once. Square Enix hasn’t confirmed whether these will be coming to PS5 and PC at some point, so stay tuned.
