Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Lands on Xbox and Switch 2 Jan. 22 as PS5/PC Get 'Streamlined Progression' Update

Early reviews highlight a strong Switch 2 port running at a locked 30fps with DLSS, but very large downloads mean players should prepare storage ahead of launch.

Overview

  • Critics broadly praise the Switch 2 version as one of the system’s best AAA ports, with an aggregate score reported at 90 on Metacritic at the time of writing.
  • Switch 2 performance targets a stable 30fps in both docked and handheld modes using DLSS upscaling, with some texture and resolution tradeoffs versus PS5, PC and Xbox.
  • Downloads are sizable—around 90GB on Switch 2 and roughly 110GB on Xbox Series X|S—prompting advice to preload and clear space or use microSD expansion.
  • Launch timing differs by platform, with Xbox unlocking by console timezone and Nintendo typically using a single universal release window.
  • A free PS5/PC patch adds Streamlined Progression options such as always-full HP/MP, fixed 9,999 damage and progression boosts, and Intergrade includes the Episode INTERmission DLC starring Yuffie.
