'Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII will be entirely new to the Back Compat catalog,' a post from Microsoft reads. The announcement of their availability via backwards compatibility suggests that it might not happen. Given Square Enix's penchant for remastering and re-releasing its older content, we're surprised that Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels haven't received this treatment just yet. Previous entries in the long-running Japanese role-playing game series were either on Sony or Nintendo consoles.

What this means is, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy will all be playable on the Xbox One (via disc or digital download) from a rather apt November 13 date.įinal Fantasy XIII was the first single-player mainline Final Fantasy game to be made available on the Xbox 360. At X018, Microsoft announced that the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy for Xbox 360 will be playable on Xbox One via backwards compatibility.

Xbox One backwards compatibility allows users to play original Xbox and Xbox 360 games on Microsoft's latest family of consoles.
