FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE is the expanded version of the first part of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy. The action role-playing game follows mercenary Cloud Strife into the industrial city of Midgar, where he joins the resistance group Avalanche in its fight against the Shinra Company.

The edition includes the complete reimagining of the Midgar section and the additional story FF7R EPISODE INTERmission featuring Yuffie Kisaragi. It adds better graphics, a photo mode and extra technical options to the remake.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE was released for PlayStation 5 on June 10, 2021. The PC launch on the Epic Games Store followed on Dec 16, 2021, and the Steam version on June 17, 2022. On Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, the game was released on Jan 22, 2026.

The original FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE for PlayStation 4 dates from 2020. The INTERGRADE version with the additional Yuffie episode first came out for PS5.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE is available for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. On PC, the game is sold through Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store. On Microsoft platforms it supports Xbox Play Anywhere.

In battle, players switch between Cloud, Tifa, Barret and Aerith. Direct attacks fill the ATB gauge, which triggers spells, items and special abilities. Materia adds further effects to weapons and equipment.

Summons and the individual Limit attacks also help against stronger enemies. If you combine characters, abilities and enemy weaknesses skilfully, you can shape battles in a targeted way.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE requires at least 8 GB RAM, DirectX 12 and 100 GB of free storage on Windows. Steam lists Windows 10 (64-bit), an AMD FX-8350 or Intel Core i5-3330, and a Radeon RX 480 or GeForce GTX 780.

For higher settings, Square Enix recommends 12 GB RAM, an AMD Ryzen 3 3100 or Core i7-3770, and a Radeon RX 5700 or GeForce GTX 1080. The PC version supports resolutions up to 4K.

FF7R EPISODE INTERmission tells an additional story in two chapters, featuring Yuffie Kisaragi. The ninja from Wutai travels to Midgar to retrieve a powerful Materia from the hands of the Shinra Company.

Yuffie uses shuriken attacks and ninjutsu. The companion Sonon can support her through combined attacks. The episode runs parallel to the events of the main story and widens the view of Midgar.

Cloud Strife supports the resistance group Avalanche in the city of Midgar. There, the Shinra Company extracts energy from Mako while the conflict over the future of the planet escalates.

The remake expands the Midgar section of the 1997 original into a standalone adventure with additional scenes and deeper character stories. The focus is on Cloud's relationships with Tifa, Barret and Aerith.

The Xbox and Switch 2 versions include the "Streamlined Progression" option. It lets players, for example, keep their HP and MP permanently refilled, use the ATB and Limit gauges without limits, and deal attacks of up to 9,999 damage.

These aids make it easier to follow the story. If you prefer the original challenge, you can play without these aids.

On PlayStation 5 you can choose between a high-resolution graphics mode and a performance mode running at 60 frames per second. The Intergrade version improves textures, lighting and loading times compared to the original PS4 game. A photo mode lets you take your own shots in Midgar.

On PC, the game supports resolutions up to 4K. High frame rates and details require correspondingly powerful hardware.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE offers German voice acting and German on-screen text on PlayStation 5. Other languages for the PS5 version include English, French and Japanese. For the PC and console versions, the language options may vary by store and region.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE joins Xbox Game Pass on Oct 29, 2026. From that day it is available on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC and via cloud streaming. Microsoft calls the subscriptions Ultimate, Premium and PC Game Pass.

The Microsoft version supports Xbox Play Anywhere with shared progress across console and PC.
