Every Final Fantasy Game on the Nintendo Switch in 2025

For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, a nearly 40-year-old franchise necessitates considering younger audiences and profitability. This has driven publishers towards multi-platform releases. Beyond PC ports, Square Enix has significantly expanded remastered and special editions for Nintendo's handhelds.

This isn't entirely new; Final Fantasy's history with Nintendo dates back to its 1987 Famicom debut. The first six mainline entries launched on Nintendo platforms before Square Enix shifted to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII.

With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC launch and a significant Magic: The Gathering expansion boosting the series' profile in 2025, many are eager to explore the franchise. Below is a comprehensive list of Final Fantasy games available on the Nintendo Switch, perfect for newcomers and veterans alike.
