Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Delivers Smooth Performance on Nintendo Switch 2, Confirms Square Enix

Square Enix has cemented its dedication to quality on Nintendo’s upcoming hardware, officially confirming that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will run at a stable 30 frames per second on the Nintendo Switch 2.

As the acclaimed RPG’s winter release draws closer, fans eager to return to Midgar or experience Cloud’s journey for the first time on Nintendo’s anticipated system can expect both fluid gameplay and sharp visual fidelity. Originally launched for the PlayStation 4 and later enhanced with an Intergrade edition for PlayStation 5 and PC, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade has won praise for its cinematic storytelling, real-time action combat, and visual upgrades.

Square Enix’s decision to bring the title to the Nintendo Switch 2 marks a significant moment, underscoring the company’s ongoing collaboration with Nintendo and its investment in delivering premium RPG experiences for the Switch audience. In a statement shared via official Square Enix social channels, the publisher assured fans that "Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade launches this winter on Nintendo Switch 2, running at a stable 30 frames per second offering smooth performance and crisp visuals." This formal confirmation comes amid widespread anticipation and follows reports and hands-on impressions noting the game’s impressive visual presentation on the next-generation Nintendo hardware. Technical performance is often a key concern when major titles make the leap to new platforms.

Addressing these questions, Digital Foundry’s John Linneman recently commented that the Switch 2 build is "the best-looking thing I've seen on Switch 2.

Seeing that game running at a stable 30fps, with that excellent motion blur especially, it looked fantastic.

It was completely stable, it looked on par – actually I would say it looks better than the PS4 version, at a glance." Linneman’s endorsement not only highlights the capabilities of the Switch 2 but also reinforces Square Enix’s technical prowess in optimizing its flagship releases. Further impressions from industry press, including Nintendo Life's Felix Sanchez who tested the title at Gamescom, echo the sentiment that Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade maintains both performance and graphical ambition on Nintendo’s forthcoming hardware.

While the full technical specifications of the Switch 2 remain under wraps, early feedback and official statements suggest this release stands among the most visually acclaimed third-party arrivals for the platform. Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in winter 2024.

Players can look forward to experiencing one of Square Enix’s defining RPGs with an experience tailored to Nintendo’s latest console.
