Square Enix confirmed that there will be parity across all Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade versions on January 22, 2026, as the PS5 and PC FFVII releases will get the Streamlined Progression patch the same day. Square Enix confirmed on social media it will be available everywhere the day the game launches on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X. This will apply to in-progress and new games.
We do already know what the Streamlined Progression in the FFVII Remake Intergrade Switch 2, Xbox Series X, PS5, and PC versions will entail. Square Enix shared screenshots back in September 2025 that went over everything. The head start options are available in the general Options menu between the Gameplay and Camera & Controls settings. People can enable or disable an array of different elements.
Here’s a list of the confirmed Streamlined Progression elements in the JRPG:
- Constant Max HP
- Constant Max MP
- Limit Gauge Always Full
- ATB Gauge Always Full
- Constant Max Damage
- 2x EXP & 3x AP Gain
- Easy Weapon Ability Acquisition
- Constant Max Gil
- Constant Max Recovery Items
- Max Materia Levels
Each one of these can be enabled or disabled, so someone can tailor the experience to their own needs or eliminate the grind while still keeping the challenge.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will appear on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X on January 22, 2026, and the PS5 and PC versions of FFVII will get a Streamlined Progression patch that same day. A demo is available. The game originally appeared on the PS4, which isn’t getting this latest patch.
