The Final Fantasy franchise will soon release new physical game bundles for fans to enjoy this holiday season, as Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and FF7 Rebirth will be in a physical Twin Pack on PS5. Final Fantasy fans with a Nintendo Switch console are also in luck, as Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8 Remastered will have a physical Switch twin-pack, and Final Fantasy 9 will be released on its own game card.
Each Final Fantasy game featured in these physical re-releases is also available digitally, or as separate physical releases in the case of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth. Square Enix's latest move also has curious timing, as Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade will launch on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S on January 22, 2026. The upcoming ports of FF7 Remake Intergrade will have new Streamlined Progression systems that offer players perks in battle, such as full resource gauges.
