Two major Final Fantasy games have received their lowest Xbox prices so far as part of the Xbox Summer Sale 2026.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is now available for £13.99 in the UK and $13.99 in the United States, representing a 65 percent discount. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has dropped to £29.99 and $29.99, which is 40 percent below its usual price.
Both games are relatively recent additions to Xbox. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade arrived in January 2026, while Rebirth followed in June. Their inclusion in the summer promotion gives Xbox players a cheaper way to begin or continue the modern Final Fantasy VII trilogy.
The discounts are expected to remain available until late on Wednesday, July 29, alongside more than 2,000 other games included in the wider Xbox Summer Sale.
| Game | Metacritic score | UK price | US price | Discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade | 89 | £13.99 | $13.99 | 65% |
| Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | 92 | £29.99 | $29.99 | 40% |
Remake Intergrade offers the cheapest entry point
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the first part of the modern remake trilogy.
The game retells the Midgar section of the original Final Fantasy VII while greatly expanding its locations, characters and story. It replaces the original turn based battle system with real time combat that still allows players to pause and select abilities, spells and items.
Intergrade includes the upgraded version of the main game along with the Intermission episode, which focuses on Yuffie. That additional chapter introduces its own combat mechanics and provides more context around events taking place during the main story.
At £13.99 or $13.99, the game is now one of the strongest value offers in the Xbox sale. It is also the logical starting point for anyone unfamiliar with the remake project, since Rebirth continues directly from its ending.
New players do not need to understand the wider Final Fantasy series before starting. Most numbered Final Fantasy games tell separate stories, while the Final Fantasy VII remake titles form their own connected trilogy.
Rebirth expands the adventure into larger regions
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the second part of the trilogy and follows the group after they leave Midgar.
Its structure is considerably broader than Remake Intergrade. Players travel through several large connected regions, complete optional activities, discover side stories and take part in a wider range of minigames.
Combat also receives further improvements. Party members have more ways to work together, and the game expands the number of abilities and tactical combinations available during battles.
Rebirth earned a Metacritic score of 92, placing it among the most highly rated games currently available on Xbox. Its £29.99 or $29.99 sale price is still higher than Remake Intergrade, but the game is larger and contains substantially more optional content.
Players should complete Remake Intergrade first because Rebirth assumes familiarity with its characters and events. Starting with the second game would remove much of the context behind the story and relationships.
Buying both games costs less than one new release
Purchasing both games during the sale costs £43.98 in the UK or $43.98 in the United States.
That total is below the standard price of many new major releases. It also gives players access to the first two parts of a trilogy that can take well over 100 hours to complete, depending on how much optional content they explore.
The combined offer may appeal to anyone who waited for the series to arrive on Xbox or avoided paying full price at launch.
However, buyers should consider the time commitment. Remake Intergrade offers a more focused and largely linear experience, while Rebirth is much larger and includes extensive side content.
There is no need to complete every optional activity before progressing. Players mainly interested in the story can follow the central path and return to other content later.
Xbox Play Anywhere adds value to selected purchases
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade supports Xbox Play Anywhere, allowing one digital purchase to provide access on compatible Xbox consoles and Windows PC.
This can be useful if you play across more than one device. Supported progress and achievements can also move between platforms through your Microsoft account.
The available report does not clearly confirm the same support for Rebirth, so buyers should check the Microsoft Store listing before assuming both games include identical cross platform benefits.
Play Anywhere can make the Remake Intergrade offer especially attractive because the £13.99 purchase may cover console and PC access rather than requiring separate copies.
The trilogy will continue with Final Fantasy VII Revelation
The third part of the remake trilogy is expected to be titled Final Fantasy VII Revelation and is planned for Xbox next year.
Buying the first two games now would allow players to catch up before the final chapter arrives. However, the exact release date and pricing for the third game have not been detailed in the provided information.
The current discounts do not require buying both titles together. Players can begin with Remake Intergrade and decide later whether they want to continue.
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the safer choice for newcomers because of its lower price and position as the opening chapter. Rebirth offers the larger and more critically acclaimed experience, but it is best played after completing the first game.
