Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox on PC, which means a whole new wave of players can finally meet one of gaming’s strangest robot heroes: Cait Sith.
Square Enix announced that Rebirth has expanded beyond PlayStation 5 and PC, bringing the second game in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy to all modern platforms. The release also includes Xbox Play Anywhere support, so Xbox players can move between console and PC with the same purchase. The game has already earned more than 125 perfect review scores and 40 Game of the Year awards, according to Square Enix.
In Rebirth, Cait Sith joins Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith, Red XIII, and Yuffie on their hunt for Sephiroth across the wider world beyond Midgar. Square Enix describes Cait Sith as a “wisecracking, feline-shaped robot,” which is a pretty efficient way to explain why this character belongs on a robotics site.
Cait Sith has always been one of Final Fantasy VII’s weirdest ideas. He is cute, mechanical, theatrical, suspiciously cheerful, and usually riding around on a giant stuffed moogle. In a game full of swords, monsters, magic, and corporate dystopia, he is basically a robotic cat mascot with secrets. That sounds ridiculous, because it is. It is also why people remember him.
The timing works especially well now because robotics has moved from science fiction decoration to one of the biggest real-world tech races. Humanoid robots, robot pets, companion machines, and AI-powered assistants are everywhere in 2026. So when Rebirth puts a talkative robotic cat into a massive fantasy adventure, Cait Sith feels less like a random oddball and more like an early mascot for the physical AI age.
The new release also comes with a Streamlined Progression feature, which can grant unlimited HP, MP, and ATB during battles, along with easier weapon ability acquisition and other boosts. Square Enix says the feature is meant to let players focus more on the story. A free demo is also available on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox, covering Chapters 1 and 2, with progress carrying into the full game.
For longtime fans, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth arriving on more platforms is another step toward making the remake trilogy available to everyone before the third installment, which Square Enix says is currently in production. For new players, it is a chance to jump into one of the most famous RPG worlds ever made without needing the original PlayStation memory card energy.
