Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Will Ship on One PS5 Disc, Digital Download Required

Square Enix will release Final Fantasy VII Revelation on April 8, 2027, for all platforms. The PS5 physical edition ships on a single disc, but players must complete a mandatory digital download before the game is playable. This requirement extends to Xbox Series X/S and other platforms, meaning no physical copy will work straight from the disc or card. The game serves as the conclusion to the remake trilogy, which currently sees a bundle of the first two parts available for $85.
