Xbox Brazil made a huge blunder that led fans to believe the game was coming to the Xbox.

Xbox Brazil accidentally included the non-Xbox title 'Final Fantasy 7 Remake' in its Father's Day post on August 13.

Microsoft was forced to issue an apology after the post mislead people to believe it was a teaser that the title - which was released as a PlayStation exclusive in 2020 before coming out on PC - coming to the Xbox the following year.

The social media apology read: "The image was posted in error and removed as it included a title not available on Xbox."

Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu previously insisted that "whenever possible,", it wants to release its games on Xbox for "players around the world to enjoy."

During Fan Fest 2023 in Las Vegas, Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer teased: “We [including producer-and-director Naoki Yoshida] want to bring the Xbox community and your warriors of light together, in a way that is safe, secure, engaging, and, above all, fun.”

And it was confirmed that the instalment in the hit MMORPG series is coming to the Xbox Series X|S in spring 2024.

The digital edition will boast 4K support and much faster loading.

What's more, the fifth, and biggest expansion yet, is on the way.
