Square Enix Plans To "Simultaneously" Release Its Titles On Every Platform, Claims Final Fantasy Producer

As a long-time fan of Square Enix and Final Fantasy games, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and anticipation hearing Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida’s latest comments about potentially bringing more Square Enix titles to multiple platforms, including Xbox consoles.

In a recent interview, renowned producer Naoki “Yoshi-P” Yoshida expressed plans at publisher Square Enix to expand their games’ availability across various platforms. Yoshi-P mentioned his desire for more and more Square Enix titles to be playable on multiple systems, and he expressed optimism about Final Fantasy 16 potentially being released on Xbox consoles in the future.

Earlier this year, Yoshi-P expressed a desire for Final Fantasy to appear on Xbox consoles, and by September 2024, it had made its way onto PC. However, the sales of Final Fantasy 16 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth did not meet their targets following their releases, as reported in May 2024 during their financial call. This indicates that competition between their games, referred to as “cannibalization,” is suspected to be the cause of these disappointing results.

In the days ahead, Square Enix games will increasingly be launched concurrently across different platforms. However, given that this is one of our first releases, we’re particularly keen for Xbox gamers to experience it too.

Regarding a possible Xbox version, they are considering it as they plan to make the game accessible on this platform. However, they can’t provide details about when it might be released or other specifics at this time. Still, they remain optimistic about the possibility and encourage players not to lose hope for an eventual release.
