"Final Fantasy 7: Remake INTERGRADE" director Naoki Hamaguchi recently talked about the news that this RPG will be launched on Nintendo Switch 2, and showed full confidence in the ported version.
When a Screen Rant reporter asked about the progress of the Switch 2 version optimization in an exclusive interview, Hamaguchi Naoki gave an exciting response: "I can confidently assert that the Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy 7 will become a model for high-definition porting of games on this console. Our technical team has conducted in-depth optimization based on the architectural features of the new console to ensure that players can obtain a complete gaming experience comparable to other platforms."
Hamaguchi further explained that the porting work is not a simple code porting, but makes full use of the hardware features of Switch2: "We have re-adjusted the texture streaming system and optimized memory management to ensure a stable frame rate while maintaining picture quality. We look forward to players' personal experience and judgment. We plan to release a trial version before the end of the year."
Although Nintendo Switch 2 has only been released for a few months, its third-party game lineup has already shown fierce competition.The current full version transplant of "Cyberpunk 2077" and "Star Wars: Desperados" have received praise from the industry for their excellent optimization effects and are recognized as the benchmark for current third-party transplant works.Hamaguchi Naoki's confident declaration undoubtedly announced that "Final Fantasy 7: Remake" will join this "transplant quality competition."
The Switch 2 version of "Final Fantasy 7: Remake INTERGRADE" is scheduled to be released on January 22, 2026, and will include all the content and image quality mode options of the PS5 version.As the trial version approaches at the end of the year, players will have the opportunity to personally verify whether this much-anticipated transplant can really become a model for the Switch2 platform as the director said.
