Square Enix has marked the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy X, the influential role-playing game that originally launched on Sony's PlayStation 2 on July 19, 2001.
The publisher announced that the Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster will arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 this Thursday, continuing the title's long life across multiple console generations.
Final Fantasy X is one of Square Enix's best-known entries in the Final Fantasy franchise and its original release on PlayStation 2 in July 2001 established the game as a landmark of the early 2000s console era.
The HD remaster package, Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster, has been reissued for modern platforms in previous years, bringing updated visuals and quality-of-life features to newer hardware.
In a company statement recognizing the milestone, Square Enix noted the game's enduring fanbase and confirmed the Switch 2 release date, saying the HD collection would be available on the Nintendo platform starting Thursday.
The outlet also credited a community tip from user Greatsong1 for highlighting the announcement.
The announcement reinforces Square Enix's ongoing support for legacy Final Fantasy releases on contemporary systems.
The PlayStation 2 original remains a key entry in the series' platform history, while the HD remaster has broadened accessibility by being offered across multiple digital storefronts and consoles in the years since its first re-release.
For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, the remaster will likely be distributed through Nintendo's digital storefront, the eShop, as with previous ports, though players should consult official Square Enix and Nintendo channels for platform-specific availability and any regional release windows.
Square Enix has a track record of moving remastered Final Fantasy titles onto Nintendo hardware, and this announcement continues that pattern.
Square Enix's 25th anniversary acknowledgement is a reminder of Final Fantasy X's place in the franchise timeline and the publisher's stewardship of back catalog titles.
