Final Fantasy 7 Remake On Switch 2 Pre-Order Guide: Bonuses, Physical Edition, And More

Now that Nintendo has hardware powerful enough to handle it, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Final Fantasy is a series that has been intrinsically linked to Nintendo since its beginnings decades ago, particularly those first six pixel games, so it just feels right that the newer Final Fantasy games are starting to arrive on its newest platform.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake was one of the first big third-party games confirmed to be coming to the Switch 2, announced before the console had even been released. Square Enix then confirmed the first installment in its FF7 Remake trilogy will be here on January 22, 2026. The perfect way to kick off your gaming year, and if you want to play Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Switch 2, there are a lot of things to consider before placing your pre-order.

Choosing Which Edition Of Final Fantasy 7 Remake To Pre-Order On Switch 2

The first step is to decide which edition you want to purchase. The best thing about the standard edition of Final Fantasy 7 Remake on Switch 2 is its price. In a world where some triple-A games cost $80, particularly on Switch 2, Square has gone ahead and given its next Switch 2 port a $40 price tag.

If you're taken aback at just how cheap that is and you're willing to pay more, there is a digital deluxe edition, which costs $60. The only caveat with that pricier edition of FF7 Remake is, as the name implies, it's only available digitally. For the extra $20, you'll get a digital copy of Final Fantasy 7 Remake's artbook along with a digital version of its soundtrack.

• $39.99 on the Nintendo eShop (Standard Edition)
• $59.99 on the Nintendo eShop (Digital Deluxe Edition)

Buy It Early And Get The Original Game Thrown In For Free

There isn't technically a pre-order bonus included with Final Fantasy 7 Remake if you buy it directly from Nintendo; there's a limited early purchase bonus instead. What makes that better than a pre-order bonus is that it's available even after the game has been released, right up until January 31, 2026. Pre-order or buy the remake on Switch 2 by that date, and you'll get a Switch version of the original game thrown in for free.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be getting a physical release on Switch 2. The downside of buying the game physically is that the limited early purchase bonus isn't available anywhere else other than Nintendo. There's arguably a better bonus included with the game when bought through Amazon, though, and that's a Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy booster pack. Links to pre-order the game on Amazon and at other retailers can be found below.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake On Xbox And The Rest Of The Remake Trilogy

Although Nintendo is stealing all the headlines, the Switch 2 isn't the only platform Final Fantasy 7 Remake will release on to kick off 2026. It's also arriving on Xbox Series X|S on the same day, which means after being so closely associated with PlayStation since its initial launch in 2020, Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be available on all major platforms.

It seems its close association with PlayStation has come to an end. Even though Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is currently a PS5 exclusive, Square has already confirmed that too will also be coming to Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. That just leaves Remake Part 3, which doesn't even have a name yet, let alone a release date. However, Square has noted the final game in the trilogy will be released simultaneously across all platforms, meaning we will all be able to end our journeys together when the time comes.
