Fujifilm has been creating IR cameras since the Fujifilm X-T1, but they were largely for forensics work. I am only aware of one photographer Tomasz Lazar, who has been able to get Fujifilm to provide him with a Fujifilm X-T1 IR and a Fujifilm X-T2 IR for a photography project.
Most of what we know about Fujifilm IR and ES cameras comes from public-facing websites, but cameras like the Fujifilm X-T2 IR have never been listed on them. Up until recently, the most recent IR cameras we know about are the Fujifilm X-T4 Extended Spectrum and the Fujifilm GFX100 IR. Now Fujifilm has a new public listing for the Fujifilm X-H2 IR and Fujifilm GFX100II IR, which you can read about below, or you can see if you are eligible to order one here.
One thing is for sure, Fujifilm has been preparing IR and ES cameras for law enforcement and artists alike for a long time now. Following my interview with Tomasz Lazar, I wouldn’t doubt that many official IR and ES Fujifilm cameras exist today that have never been covered online.

Overview
The IR version cameras are digital cameras that extends the shooting sensitivity to infrared (IR) range photography.
By using different IR filters in front of the camera lens, the IR cameras would be capable of capturing images at various wavelengths which can reveal different details within the subject.
FUJIFILM’s IR version cameras are also capable of instantly focusing on the subject by using its autofocus feature, which would greatly speed up the workflow of infrared photography.
In addition, the camera supports the Pixel Shift Multi-Shot function, which enables recording at ultra high resolution without false colors. Even in the infrared region, the camera captures an unprecedented amount of detail and produces infrared images of unparalleled precision. It provides powerful support for research and investigation.
