Square Enix Video Compares Final Fantasy 7 Remake Switch 2 Performance to Other Platforms

by

Square Enix has released a new video comparing how Final Fantasy 7 Remake plays on the Switch 2 versus other consoles. The popular RPG is a major third-party title coming to Nintendo’s new system, and it includes additions like a “Streamlined Mode” for players who want to focus on the story. Pre-ordering the Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake also comes with a bonus: those who pre-order digitally will receive the original Final Fantasy 7 for a limited time. The new video now demonstrates how well the game runs on the Switch 2.

One of the biggest concerns about the Switch 2 has been how well it can handle demanding games from other consoles. Early versions of the Switch 2 port of *Elden Ring* reportedly had significant performance problems, sometimes dropping to just 15 frames per second in demos shown at Gamescom. Square Enix previously stated that *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* will run at 30 FPS on the Switch 2, and a new video now offers a look at how the game actually performs on the new console.

Okay, so Square Enix just dropped a new video showing how *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* runs on the Switch 2, and honestly, I’m really impressed! They put the Switch 2 version (playing on the TV, of course) right next to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC versions, and it looks surprisingly good – like, really close in terms of detail. The director, Naoki Hamaguchi, said they’ve been focusing on using lighting effects similar to the PS5 version to make the game feel more alive. It’s launching on January 22nd, and I’m already hyped to play it on the go!

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Video Compares Switch 2 Port to Other Platforms

The new video demonstrates that the Switch 2 version of *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* looks remarkably similar to other versions. The most noticeable difference is a slight reduction in the quality of some floor textures during the opening scene with Cloud. It’s also important to note that the video runs at 30 frames per second, so it doesn’t fully show how the Switch 2’s performance compares to the 60 FPS found on other consoles.

The recent Switch 2 release of *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* wasn’t the only game in the series coming to Nintendo’s platform. Square Enix announced that *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth* will also be available on Switch 2 in 2026, though a specific date hasn’t been set. They also confirmed that the third game in the trilogy is in development for Switch 2, though details are still to come. The Switch 2 version of *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* will let even more players enjoy this popular and highly-rated RPG.
