Final Fantasy Tactics Remake Offers Free Switch 2 Upgrade
▼ Summary
– Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles’ physical Switch edition includes a free Switch 2 visual and performance upgrade available for preorder on the eShop.
– Square Enix isn’t releasing a physical edition for Switch 2, making the free upgrade essential for enhanced gameplay on the new console.
– The Amazon Exclusive Edition includes a double-sided poster with character art and a job class flowchart, priced at $50 like other physical editions.
– Amazon Exclusive Editions may sell out quickly, and later batches might not include the poster, making early purchase advisable.
– Preordered copies come with in-game bonuses like White Equipment for Ramza, Spiked Boots, Mythril Knife, and consumables like High Potions and Ethers.
Fans of the beloved tactical RPG can rejoice, Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is offering a free visual and performance upgrade for Nintendo Switch 2 owners who purchase the physical edition on Switch. This seamless transition ensures players won’t miss out on enhanced graphics and smoother frame rates when the upgraded console launches. The free upgrade pack is already available to claim on the eShop, making it easy for collectors to future-proof their purchase.
What makes this particularly noteworthy is Square Enix’s decision not to release a separate physical edition for Switch 2. Without the upgrade, players would be stuck with the original Switch version or forced to buy a digital copy to experience the improvements. The Amazon-exclusive physical edition adds even more value, bundling a double-sided poster featuring character art and a job class flowchart, all for the standard $50 price tag. While supplies last, this version remains the best option for fans who want both a tangible collector’s item and next-gen enhancements.
Limited availability is always a concern with special editions, and this one is no exception. Amazon’s exclusive packaging has a history of selling out quickly, often before launch day. Once stock runs out, subsequent orders won’t include the poster. For those seeking something even more premium, Square Enix previously offered a $200 Collector’s Box through their online store, though it vanished within hours of preorders going live.
Preordering any version of The Ivalice Chronicles unlocks a handful of useful in-game bonuses.
A digital Deluxe Edition is also in the works, packed with additional content for players who prefer downloads over physical copies. Whether opting for the Amazon exclusive or holding out for digital perks, fans have plenty of ways to dive back into this tactical masterpiece with modern upgrades.
