Yesterday, Xbox Germany caused a bit of a stir when it posted some false information about Final Fantasy VII Remake on its Facebook page. The post, which has long since been removed, incorrectly declared the game would launch on Xbox One on the same day as the PlayStation 4 release -- the only version we currently know about.
While the highly anticipated remake is marked as a timed exclusive on Sony's console, no official mention has been made of other platforms, and Square Enix has now doubled down on this in a new statement. Responding to VGC's request for comment, a spokesperson provided the website with the following:
"As previously announced, Final Fantasy VII Remake will be released for the PlayStation 4 on March 3rd 2020. We have no plans for other platforms."
So, there you go: official word, if it was even needed, that Xbox Germany's post was a big slip up. It's likely the remake will make its way to other platforms eventually, but at least for a while, the only place you'll be able to play it is on PS4.

I reckon there’ll be a PC version later but for the foreseeable future, it’s a PS4 game.
I wonder how far the exclusivity deal goes. If it extends to all the upcoming parts then it'll basically be exclusive forever.
Looks like that thing backfired.
What a bizzare slip up.
lost in translation maybe lol
"no plans"
They can't use that, that's Nintendo's phrase for saying things aren't coming only to announce them a week later. Nintendo is the least planning company I've ever seen.
Though since Squenix has made part 1 of a remake of a game they already made 20 years ago yet they have "no idea" how many more parts it's going to take to complete remaking that 1 game they may actually be worse at planning than Nintendo.
and this is why you wait until the publisher actually comes out and says something
basically unless the publishers says it's coming just assume it's not, that way you wont be setting yourself up for disappointment
I don't believe Square Enix one bit.
that's cool.playstation 4 its where it's at.word up son
@RBMango i get that BUT the game is out in 9 months, even if Sony had exclusive advertisement rights Square would have still confirmed other systems if it was coming to other systems at the same time by now because they would want people to get their pre-orders in
Square should look at getting it out on the Playstation 4.....before there is any talk of other platforms
I am sure it was Eidios that got in on the PC the 1st time around.
Hmm, it's not like Microsoft misleading people
Somehow, I believe that was not done accidentally by Microsoft...
