Square Enix has announced a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 version of the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, with a confirmed release date of July 23 and pre-orders now available on the Nintendo eShop at £44.99/€49.99.
The publisher unveiled the Switch 2 edition ahead of a Nintendo Direct, positioning the remaster as an upgraded release for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
The Switch 2 release is described by Square Enix as carrying over the HD Remaster features fans first saw on Nintendo Switch in 2019.
The company lists remade visual assets, a remastered musical score and a high-speed mode among the key technical enhancements included in the package.
Those features mirror the enhancements that defined earlier HD editions while targeting the improved performance and display capabilities of Switch 2.
Final Fantasy X originally launched in 2001 on PlayStation 2, with its direct follow-up Final Fantasy X-2 debuting in 2003; both titles were later collected and remastered by Square Enix across multiple platforms.
The pair first arrived on Nintendo Switch in 2019 as part of the HD Remaster package, bringing these core JRPGs to Nintendo’s handheld-console hybrid for a new audience.
In critical reception, the HD Remaster has been well regarded.
In a 9/10 review published at the time of the Switch release, the collection was praised for faithfully updating two classic role-playing games for modern platforms and was strongly recommended to players seeking a definitive way to experience the stories of Tidus, Yuna and the world of Spira.
