Final Fantasy VII Remake has just landed on Nintendo Switch 2 with a playable demo - and after spending time with it, I had to put it through a proper performance test.
In this video, I’m breaking down everything that matters: visuals, image quality, lighting, UI sharpness, and frame rate - including how it holds up in both docked and handheld play. This covers the opening section of the game, from the first mission through the Guard Scorpion encounter, giving us our first real look at how this ambitious remake runs on Nintendo’s new hardware.
I’ve played Final Fantasy VII Remake on PS4 and PS5, and after going hands-on with this build, I wanted to see just how close the Switch 2 version gets - and where the compromises are. Is this demo a true showcase for the system, and a sign of what’s to come for the full release?
Let’s find out.
The award-winning FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE* retells the original story up to the escape from Midgar, with breathtaking visuals, fast-paced gameplay, and additional story elements.
This RPG delivers unforgettable characters, a powerful narrative, and a hybrid battle system that blends real-time action with strategic, command-based combat.
It also includes FF7R EPISODE INTERmission, a side story starring Yuffie Kisaragi that offers a fresh perspective running in parallel to Cloud’s journey.
STORY
Mako, the lifeblood of the planet, is also a highly valuable energy source.
The Shinra Electric Power Company exploits this essence, draining and refining it to fuel their reactors, and in doing so, has all but seized control of the world.
But resistance rises. A ragtag group of idealists, known as Avalanche, is determined to protect the planet.
In the city of Midgar, Cloud Strife, ex-SOLDIER turned mercenary, joins Avalanche on their mission to blow up Reactor 1.
As the echo of the blast ripples through Sector 8, the city is set ablaze. In the flames, a fallen nemesis from Cloud's past appears, challenging his memories and his identity.
Once more begins a story that will shape the destiny of the entire world.
*This game is a partial remake of FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997. It is the first title in a multi-part series based on the original game. It reimagines the Midgar portion of the story with expanded scenes, new characters, and additional narrative layers.
FF7R EPISODE INTERmission
Play as Yuffie Kisaragi, a young ninja from Wutai, as she infiltrates Midgar on a mission to steal the ultimate materia from the Shinra Electric Power Company.
