2 of the Best Final Fantasy Games Are Coming to Switch 2

Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on July 23, as Square Enix confirmed the news with a surprise reveal on social media. The Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster was announced hours before the June 9 Nintendo Direct broadcast went live.

Originally released in July 2001, Final Fantasy 10 is the first Final Fantasy title to feature fully voiced characters. Final Fantasy 10 tells the story of Tidus, a star Blitzball athlete, and Yuna, a young Summoner on a mission to defeat the colossal Sin. In the 2003 sequel Final Fantasy 10-2, Yuna joins Rikku and Paine to form a trio of sphere hunters called the Gullwings. While Final Fantasy 10 is considered a ground-breaking entry for its graphics and voice acting, Final Fantasy 10-2 is a polarizing title that has divided fans for over two decades.

Soon, more Final Fantasy fans can enjoy two of the most popular entries in the franchise. Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster launches on Switch 2 on July 23, priced at $49.99, and preorders are already open on the Nintendo Store. The two-game compilation includes over 100 hours of combined gameplay content, including exclusive boss battles that were first featured in the international versions of of the games. Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster also includes the original and remastered soundtracks of both Final Fantasy games, along with quality-of-life options such as high-speed mode and the ability to turn off random encounters.

However, Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster has some caveats for players to bear in mind. Save data from the Switch version of Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster cannot be transferred to the upcoming Switch 2 port. Plus, the duology’s Switch 2 launch in North America will be digital only, as Square Enix has not announced any physical release plans outside Japan. Despite the fact that Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster only requires 27.8 GB of storage space, physical copies sold in Japan will be released on the controversial Game-Key Card format. It remains to be seen if Square Enix will extend physical sales of Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster outside Japan.

Hours after dropping the news of Final Fantasy 10/10-2 HD Remaster, Square Enix unveiled some more titles coming to Switch 2 throughout 2026 and beyond. During the June 9 Nintendo Direct, Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy Resonance, a new HD-2D title based on the first chapter of the defunct mobile game Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. Final Fantasy Resonance will also feature characters from past Final Fantasy titles, like Tidus, as Visions that players can summon into battle. Final Fantasy Resonance launches on Switch 2 and other current-gen platforms on October 22.
