Xbox has confirmed that a Father's Day post from its Brazilian social media account which included Final Fantasy 7 Remake was posted in error, and «included a title not available on Xbox».
Microsoft's Xbox Brazil account on X, formerly Twitter, yesterday posted a Father's Day message featuring celebrated dads in gaming from various Xbox titles — and also one other: Barrett from Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
The post was then swiftly deleted, causing fans to speculate that perhaps the game may have been included as a tease for it appearing on Xbox consoles (thanks, The Gamer).

«The image was posted in error and removed as it included a title not available on Xbox,» a Microsoft spokesperson said.

That announcement was made at the Final Fantasy 14 Fan Fest in Vegas last month, from Xbox boss Phil Spencer and Square Enix CEO Takashi Kiryu.
