Square Enix has formally announced crucial details regarding the file size of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, set to launch on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
As one of the most eagerly awaited JRPG ports in recent memory, this iteration of the legendary Final Fantasy VII is already making headlines—not just for its epic narrative and stunning visuals, but for the significant storage demands it will place on the new Nintendo hardware. According to official communications shared via Square Enix's social channels, the file size for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on the Nintendo Switch 2 will range from an imposing 90GB to 95GB for the Standard Edition.
For fans interested in the Limited Early Purchase Edition or the Limited Early Purchase Digital Deluxe Editions, storage requirements will climb further, reaching between 93.8GB and 99GB.
These figures are notably higher than the sizing currently listed on the eShop, making this update a vital heads-up for both physical and digital game buyers. A Square Enix spokesperson explained, "Current eShop file sizes are placeholders, and we've been able to confirm that the game's final size will be substantially larger than initial estimates." This development carries significant implications for the physical release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2.
The game’s sheer size exceeds the maximum capacity of even the largest 64GB cartridges available for Nintendo’s platforms.
As a result, Square Enix will utilize a Game-Key Card release model for the physical edition—a practice becoming more common as third-party studios push the boundaries of current game card capacities on Nintendo hardware. Players preparing for this major launch should take special note: sufficient storage space will be essential.
With the Switch 2 anticipated to host additional blockbuster ports in the coming years, now is the time for fans to consider investing in expanded storage solutions, such as microSD cards or compatible microSD Express Cards.
This need for additional space underscores a growing trend as titles continue to increase in complexity and size across all major platforms. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to release globally on January 22, 2026.
As the franchise enjoys continued critical and commercial success, this new port is expected to drive further excitement and engagement among Nintendo fans and RPG enthusiasts alike.
Stay tuned for more updates as the launch date approaches and as Nintendo and Square Enix reveal additional platform and compatibility details.
