Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Launches on Switch 2 and Xbox as PS5/PC Get Streamlined Patch

Early reviews and technical analysis point to a stable 30 FPS conversion that prioritizes consistent performance over pristine assets.

Overview

  • Square Enix’s new release brings the full Intergrade package, including the Episode INTERmission Yuffie DLC, to Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S.
  • Digital Foundry reports 1080p output when docked and a lower handheld resolution upscaled via DLSS, with gameplay locked at 30 FPS and brief cutscene dips.
  • The port makes trade-offs such as some PS4-quality textures, pop-in and dither artifacts, yet reviewers praise lighting, combat fluidity and overall parity in playability.
  • A free Streamlined Progression update on PS5 and PC adds optional assists like topped-up HP/MP, fixed 9,999 damage, full gauges, and XP/AP boosts, with item and gil max options.
  • File sizes around 88–95GB raise storage concerns on Switch 2, even as early critiques are strongly positive, and the director says Switch 2 versions of Rebirth and Part 3 are already in development with matching gameplay targets.
