Final Fantasy Games on Nintendo Switch in 2025

If you've ever been captivated by the world of Final Fantasy, you know that the series has always had a knack for blending nostalgia with innovation. For much of the 21st century, these iconic RPGs were PlayStation exclusives, but as the series celebrates nearly four decades of existence, publishers have embraced multiplatform releases to ensure younger generations can enjoy these legendary adventures. This shift not only broadens the audience but also aligns with the financial realities of sustaining such a storied franchise.

The presence of Final Fantasy titles on Nintendo Switch isn't completely unexpected. The series' roots run deep with Nintendo, as the very first game debuted on the Famicom in 1987. From the first six installments to the jump to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII, the relationship between Square Enix and Nintendo has always been intertwined. Now, with the resurgence of interest sparked by Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and a popular Magic: The Gathering expansion in 2025, many newcomers and veterans alike are eager to explore the JRPG universe. Below, we’ve curated a comprehensive list of all Final Fantasy games available on Switch for those looking to dive in or revisit this beloved series.

The first six Final Fantasy games are available on Switch as part of Square Enix’s Pixel Remaster collection. Each game features updated graphics, rearranged soundtracks, improved UIs, and new galleries showcasing creatures, illustrations, and music from all six games. If you're looking to experience the original Final Fantasy journey, this is the best way to do it.

The Pixel Remasters are available individually ($12–18 USD each) or bundled as the six-game Final Fantasy I–VI Collection ($75 USD). If purchasing individually, Final Fantasy VI is highly recommended due to its immersive storyline.

Final Fantasy 7

One of the series’ most cherished entries, Final Fantasy VII, is available on Switch. This is not a remastered version but rather a port of the 1997 original, featuring three additional features: a 3x speed mode, the ability to disable battle encounters, and an enhanced battle mode for easier gameplay. While newer versions like Remake and Rebirth incorporate modern action RPG mechanics, the Switch edition of FFVII offers an authentic experience that captures the essence of the original PlayStation game.
