Final Fantasy Switch Games: 2025 Lineup

For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, with a nearly 40-year history and a need to reach new generations of gamers, Square Enix, like many publishers, has embraced multiplatform releases. Beyond PC ports, they've also brought a significant number of remasters and special editions to Nintendo's handheld consoles.

This isn't entirely new territory. The series' roots are intertwined with Nintendo, beginning with the original game's debut on the Famicom in 1987. In fact, the first six mainline entries launched on Nintendo platforms before Square Enix shifted primarily to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII.

With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC launch and a noteworthy Magic: The Gathering expansion boosting the series' profile in 2025, many are eager to explore the world of Final Fantasy. Below is a comprehensive list of available titles on the Nintendo Switch for both newcomers and returning fans.
