Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and other JRPGs help Square Enix to sales boost amid multi-platform pivot

Square Enix's financial results are looking healthier right now than they have done for some time, as it seems its multi-platform strategy with the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth coming to Xbox and Switch 2, as well as other great JRPG releases like The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, are all paying off.

In its latest financial results, covering the six-month period ending on September 30 (the first half of FY2027/3), Square Enix reports a year-on-year increase in both its net sales and operating income "driven by higher sales in the Digital Entertainment segment" – y'know, games. Net sales reached 163.1 billion yen (around $1.03 billion), a 21.9% increase on the 133.8 billion yen ($840.6 million) during the same period last year, and 157.5 billion yen ($989.6 million) the year before.

Looking at the numbers within the Digital Entertainment segment specifically, net sales for the period are actually down slightly compared to this time two years ago (still up massively compared to last year, though), but operating income is trending upward, seeing a huge increase this time around at 32.8 billion yen ($206.07 million) compared to 16.8 billion yen ($105.5 million) for the first half of FY2025/3.

Square Enix says this has been "driven by stronger sales of new titles and catalog titles," pointing to the likes of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, The Adventures of Elliot, and Final Fantasy Resonance – though the latter launched after the window for these financial results closed, so its full sales won't be reflected here.
