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).
