FF7 Remake and Rebirth on Sale on Switch eShop

Square Enix is hosting a large sale on the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 eShop, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth are included at $7.99 and $7.49 respectively, Polygon reports. Remake on Switch 2 normally retails for $39.99, while Rebirth is discounted from $49.99. The Switch 2 version of Remake includes the Intergrade DLC, which adds Episode Yuffie, introducing the Wutai ninja and exploring some of the trilogy's lore. Rebirth's discount covers just the base game.

A deluxe edition DLC set for Rebirth is also on sale for $3, down from $20. According to Polygon, it includes the Magic Pot summoning materia, the Orchid Bracelet armor, the Reclaimant Choker accessory, a digital art book and a digital mini-soundtrack. Polygon notes that the DLC contains no story expansion.

Polygon reports that Remake on Switch 2 runs well apart from some occasional choppiness: the frame rate stays steady, including in combat, though resolution sometimes takes a hit. The enclosed spaces of Midgar reduce the need to render distant objects, according to the outlet, while the hair can be distracting, similar to Resident Evil 4 remake on Switch 2 in handheld mode. Rebirth puts more strain on the hardware as an open-world game with more going on; Polygon notes frequent asset pop-in and less detailed character models than on PS5, but says the game still runs well and frame drops rarely occur during pivotal moments or battles.
