Square Enix has raised its full-year forecasts after net sales rose 21.9% in the six months ending September 30, 2026, Nintendo Life reports. The publisher cited Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S, along with The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, among the games contributing to the stronger results. Source
Company-wide net sales reached ¥163.179 billion, while operating income climbed 41.3% to ¥38.793 billion compared with the same period in 2025, according to Nintendo Life. Those are Square Enix's overall results, not Rebirth's individual sales figures. Source
The publisher's revised full-year targets are:
- Net sales: ¥310 billion, up from ¥298 billion.
- Operating income: ¥59 billion, up from ¥49 billion. Source
The operating-income forecast alone is getting a ¥10 billion upgrade. These are still targets, though, not an extra pile of yen already earned. Source
Where Rebirth fits
GamesRadar+ reports that Rebirth arrived on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S in June 2026. It quotes Square Enix describing the game's “solid performance,” alongside “growth in sales of catalog titles.” The older releases have apparently declined to retire. Source
GamesRadar+ reports that Square Enix attributed its overall growth to higher sales in the Digital Entertainment segment, with stronger sales of new and catalog games. The company also said the announcement of Final Fantasy XIV's next expansion, Evercold, had improved player activity and boosted the MMO's net sales, according to the report. Source
That's encouraging for Square Enix's multiplatform push, but neither report supplies an itemized receipt for Rebirth's contribution or the revenue from its Switch 2 and Xbox releases. SourceSource
