Watch On

The Switch 2 edition will debut largely on par with other platforms and include previously released content — with one exception: the Claws of Awaji DLC expansion will be released on Nintendo’s console “early next year.”

The Switch 2 build also adds touch-screen support for menus, maps and the hideout, streamlining navigation. Cross-progression via a Ubisoft Connect account is supported as well, so you can continue your save on Switch 2 even if you started on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or PC.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director thinks “Nintendo will put more effort into popularizing” the Switch 2’s controversial game-key cards, which he calls “a really amazing new idea.”
