Square Enix has released a free demo for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, now available to download on Nintendo Switch 2 via the Switch 2 eShop and also promoted for Xbox platforms.
The demo lets players experience the first two chapters of the game and carries progress forward to the full release, which is scheduled to launch on June 3, 2026.
The publisher announced the demo on April 28, 2026, through the official FINAL FANTASY VII Twitter account.
In journalistic terms, Square Enix confirmed that a complimentary demo is available for players on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox, that it covers the opening two chapters of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and that any save data created in the demo will transfer to the full game when it launches on June 3, 2026.
Beyond save transfer, Square Enix also stated the demo will reward players who carry their progress into the full release.
Those bonus items include an in-game "kupo charm" and a "survival set" to help early progression.
Players can obtain the demo directly from the Switch 2 eShop on their hybrid console; Xbox users should consult the Microsoft Store on their console for availability.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is positioned as Square Enix’s next major follow-up to the Final Fantasy VII remake project, and the demo gives fans an early look at the opening chapters ahead of the summer launch.

For players on Nintendo Switch 2, downloading the demo from the eShop is the quickest way to sample the title on Nintendo’s next-generation hybrid hardware.
