Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, Launching This Winter at 30 FPS

Square Enix has officially revealed new details about the highly anticipated release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for the Nintendo Switch 2.

As one of the most celebrated entries in the legendary RPG franchise, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade originally debuted as an enhanced version of the acclaimed 2020 remake, delivering updated visuals and additional content for fans on current-generation platforms.

The expansion's arrival on Nintendo's next-generation hardware marks a major milestone for both the developer and the Nintendo Switch ecosystem. In a recent announcement via the official Final Fantasy VII Twitter account, Square Enix detailed how Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will perform on the Nintendo Switch 2.

The statement highlighted that the game will launch this winter, promising “smooth performance and crisp visuals,” and signifying that players can expect a stable frame rate of 30 frames per second (FPS) on the new platform.

This commitment to performance aims to balance fidelity and playability, bringing the cinematic experience of Midgar to Nintendo Switch fans. Compared to its counterparts, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade can achieve 60 FPS, and the PC version offers similar frame rates if the required hardware specifications are met.

While the Switch 2’s 30 FPS target is lower, Square Enix's assurance of "smooth performance" suggests a consistent and enjoyable gameplay experience tailored for portable and hybrid play—a hallmark of the Nintendo Switch family of consoles. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade includes not only the base game but also the DLC expansion "Episode Intermission," which features an additional storyline starring the fan-favorite character Yuffie.

This comprehensive edition has been praised for its engaging narrative, visual enhancements, and expanded gameplay.

The upcoming release broadens the accessibility of the acclaimed RPG, allowing a new wave of gamers to embark on Cloud Strife’s journey. At present, Square Enix has not provided a specific launch date for the Nintendo Switch 2 version, reiterating only a broad “this winter” launch window.

The company’s continued support for Nintendo platforms and the strategic timing of this release underscore both the enduring popularity of Final Fantasy VII and the growing momentum of next-gen Nintendo hardware. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's arrival on Switch 2 signals another major third-party win for Nintendo and reaffirms Square Enix’s commitment to delivering premium RPG experiences across all major gaming ecosystems.

As the winter 2025 release window approaches, more details are expected to emerge from Square Enix, including further insights on features and technical enhancements for Nintendo Switch 2 players.
