Nintendo Switch fans have been given the Final Fantasy news they’ve been waiting for.
Square Enix has revealed plans to release the full Final Fantasy 15 experience on Nintendo Switch.
The Final Fantasy developer recently hinted at a Final Fantasy 15 port for Nintendo Switch. However, after running a few tests, it looked like the console couldn’t handle the Final Fantasy 15 game engine.
While it looked like that might be the end of it, game director Hajime Tabata told Eurogamer that the studio hasn’t given up hope.
“We’re actually doing very specific technical investigations into what’s possible at the moment,” Tabata said.

The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
“Where we are at the moment – we’ve completed those tests and have worked out where the ground lies. We’re currently in the middle of the discussion and debate about what we should be doing, and how to realise that on the Switch.”
Tabata said that the studio was in talks with Nintendo and other companies about a Switch port.
“The other thing – you see the mobile version, the PC version, one thing we value is to optimise the way the game plays and the experience for the individual hardware it’s on rather than a one-size fits all approach.
“We can’t currently announce anything – we haven’t come to a full decision on the best way to do it yet. We’re having very open, frank discussions with Nintendo at the moment about what they think is the best thing to do. It’s all under investigation.”
This includes talks with Epic about customising the engine for Nintendo Switch.
“Honestly, when we did the technical test to see if we could use the same native engine we used on other console versions on the Switch, we tried to run it there, the results weren’t satisfactory,” Tabata continued.
“It wasn’t what you’d want from a final game. It doesn’t mean that’s the end of that – we’re looking at the options, like the customisation of the engine. To give you an example how open those discussions are – we’re talking to Epic at the moment, about maybe what we could possibly do there, and if we did a Switch version maybe we’d be able to partner and do something there.
“Their Unreal environment is just amazing, and will be very useful. You have to have all those options on the table – without that it’d be impossible to make a decision about what we can do on that platform.”
Final Fantasy 15 is out now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
