Did you realize that Final Fantasy 16 was unveiled during the Xbox Game Showcase, making the Xbox Series X and S the consoles boasting a comprehensive collection of the entire Final Fantasy series?
Through backward compatibility, you’re able to enjoy playing the primary installments of the Final Fantasy series, such as Final Fantasy XIII, on a platform other than PlayStation since this feature isn’t provided there.
Here are all the entries and how players can access them through the Xbox Series X|S ecosystem:
- Final Fantasy I through VI: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series.
- Final Fantasy VII: Direct port to Xbox Series platforms.
- Final Fantasy VIII: Available via remaster on Xbox Series X|S.
- Final Fantasy IX: Direct port to Xbox Series platforms.
- Final Fantasy X and X-2: Available via remaster on Xbox Series X|S.
- Final Fantasy XI: This one is no longer playable, as the MMO has been discontinued across all platforms.
- Final Fantasy XII-Zodiac Age: Available through the Xbox store.
- Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2: Available via backward compatibility with Xbox 360. Missing on PlayStation 5.
- Final Fantasy XIV: Available through the Xbox store.
- Final Fantasy XV: Available through the Xbox store.
- Final Fantasy XVI: Available through the Xbox store.
It’s undeniable that Xbox hasn’t been the ultimate destination for playing Final Fantasy games. However, with the upcoming launch of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade in 2025, and if they release something similar like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Intergrade, they will have every playable entry in the series available on their platform.
It’s truly remarkable news for Xbox enthusiasts: The unexpected increase in Square Enix’s support for Xbox is rapidly transforming the platform into a gaming paradise akin to the Garden of Eden. Now, you have the freedom to play your preferred games anywhere you choose.
The Xbox motto is suddenly making more and more sense by the day.
