About an hour back, as spotted by u/D4R0Nx89 on the r/Xbox subreddit, a ‘FINAL FANTASY Pixel Remaster’ ad banner has appeared on the user’s console dashboard. Now of course, on the eve of the Tokyo Game Show 2024 broadcast, it appears that one of the livestream’s potential surprises have made its way out a bit too early. Til we get official confirmation, consider this a very plausible “Yes, the FINAL FANTASY Pixel Remaster series has finally made its way to Xbox”. No console platforms are listed on the banner, but it does say “Available Now!”.
