Square Enix has officially launched a free demo for Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2, giving fans and newcomers a unique opportunity to experience the game's opening chapter on Nintendo's next-generation hardware.
This highly anticipated release marks the first time the acclaimed remake arrives on the Nintendo Switch 2 platform, adding another major third-party title to the console's growing lineup. The demo allows players to step into the shoes of Cloud Strife, a former SOLDIER operative turned mercenary, as he and the resistance group Avalanche undertake a daring mission to destroy a Mako Reactor in the city of Midgar.
Notably, players who complete the demo can transfer their save data to the full version upon its release, ensuring a seamless transition when Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade launches on January 22, 2026. Square Enix has confirmed that players with demo save data stored on their Nintendo Switch 2 will unlock exclusive in-game items in the full version.
The rewards, including the 'Revival Earrings' and the 'Survival Set,' serve as early-game bonuses to aid players in their journey through the expansive reimagining of this iconic RPG. With over seven million copies shipped and sold digitally worldwide, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has already proven to be a critical and commercial success across multiple platforms.
This enhanced edition features not only the main story but also includes FF7R EPISODE INTERmission—an original side story starring Yuffie Kisaragi.
In this episode, players follow Yuffie’s mission to infiltrate Midgar, adding depth and fresh gameplay elements for both returning and new players. In addition to the playable demo, Square Enix has announced multiple preorder incentives for fans planning to secure their copy on Nintendo Switch 2.
For a limited time, players who pre-purchase the digital edition via the Nintendo eShop will receive a complimentary copy of the original Final Fantasy VII, available to play on the Switch 2 starting January 22, 2026.
This offer runs until January 31, 2026, and provides a nostalgic bonus for longtime fans and collectors alike. Physical edition preorders come with a unique crossover reward: a Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Play Booster.
Each booster pack contains 15 randomly assorted cards, tying into both the Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy universes and further enhancing the experience for card game enthusiasts. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will be available at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide beginning January 22, 2026.
This release is set to mark another milestone for Square Enix and the Nintendo Switch platform, offering fans a modern take on a legendary RPG with genre-defining visuals, storytelling, and gameplay enhancements.
