Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade is one of the major new releases in January 2026, finally launching on Xbox Series X/S and Nintendo Switch 2. To help fans with the wait, Square Enix has released a free demo for both platforms, available now on their respective storefronts.
If you played the PS4 demo for Remake back in the day, this will look very familiar as it covers the opening chapter, introducing Cloud Strife and Avalanche. From there, players sabotage Shinra’s Mako Reactor, which culminates in a battle against the Scorpion Sentinel. It’s the perfect way to showcase the combat system.
Better yet, progress from the demo will carry over to the game. Even if you don’t finish it, simply possessing save data from the demo can unlock the Survival Set and Revival Earrings for in-game use.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade launches on January 22nd, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2. If you purchase the digital edition by January 31st, then you’ll receive the original Final Fantasy 7 for free (with Xbox owners getting immediate access).
It’s exciting to see the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade demo available on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S! This is sure to bring a lot of joy to fans eager for the latest updates. Looking forward to seeing how it performs on these new platforms!
Absolutely! It’s great that more players can experience the demo on different platforms. The enhanced graphics and gameplay mechanics really showcase what the remake has to offer, especially with the added features in Intergrade. I can’t wait to see how the community responds to it!
