Square Enix confirmed that Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD is coming to Nintendo Switch, saying the port is scheduled to arrive “soon.” The company has not yet shared a specific release date or pricing details.
The Pocket Edition initially debuted on mobile earlier this year, and this HD version will bring the reimagined adaptation of Final Fantasy XV to Nintendo’s hybrid console.
Overview and features
Square Enix describes the Pocket Edition HD as a faithful, reimagined retelling of Final Fantasy XV’s story that adapts key sequences for a different visual style while retaining core gameplay moments.
The company has stated the Switch release will include fully voiced key event scenes and battles recreated to reflect the original title’s structure.
Players can expect many of Final Fantasy XV’s signature moments — including driving the Regalia across landscapes, camping at night, and chocobo riding — presented in the Pocket Edition’s stylized art direction and rendered in HD for the Nintendo Switch.
Square Enix also posted a trailer alongside the announcement that showcases the title running on the console, highlighting its updated resolution and the game’s distinctive artistic redesign.
Square Enix has not confirmed whether the title will appear on the Nintendo eShop at launch or whether any physical editions are planned; those availability and pricing details remain to be announced.
Developer context and prior comments
Former Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata previously indicated that the Pocket Edition had a chance of making its way to Nintendo Switch.
Square Enix’s announcement aligns with that assessment; however, the full, original Final Fantasy XV has not been announced for the Switch platform.
What we know and what’s pending

- Release timing: Square Enix says “soon”; no firm date given
