Throughout much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games remained exclusive to PlayStation consoles. However, with a franchise spanning nearly four decades of continuous releases, accessibility for new generations becomes essential. This, combined with publishers' focus on expanding market reach, has led to increasing multiplatform launches. Beyond PC versions, Square Enix has developed numerous remasters and special editions of Final Fantasy titles tailored specifically for Nintendo's handheld system.
The arrival of Final Fantasy games on Switch isn't entirely surprising. The series' connection with Nintendo traces back to its origins, with the first installment debuting on the Famicom in 1987. In fact, the initial six mainline entries launched on Nintendo platforms before Square Enix shifted focus to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII.
With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC release and an upcoming Magic: The Gathering expansion bringing renewed attention to the franchise in 2025, many gamers are exploring the series for the first time. Below we've curated a comprehensive list of Final Fantasy titles available on Switch for those looking to discover or rediscover these beloved JRPGs on Nintendo's current console.
