Final Fantasy 14 arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 4: it requires 117.2GB

Final Fantasy 14 is headed to Nintendo Switch 2 on August 4, 2026. Producer and director Naoki Yoshida announced the release during Fan Festival 2026 in Berlin.

Speaking at the event, Yoshida said the Switch 2 version comes with the base game, plus Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers, Endwalker, and Dawntrail. It’ll also take up 117.2GB at launch, which is a pretty hefty bite out of the Nintendo Switch 2’s reported 256GB of internal storage.

Square Enix says you won’t need Nintendo Switch Online. You will, however, need a monthly Final Fantasy 14 subscription. If you already have one on another platform, the company says you can get the Nintendo Switch 2 subscription for 50% off.

Square Enix also says your first month on Switch 2 will be free as it tries to keep the servers stable, and new players can jump in through the free trial before paying anything.

If you’ve been waiting to play one of gaming’s biggest MMOs on Nintendo hardware, this is a pretty compelling release. Just keep an eye on your storage if you usually have several large games installed at the same time.

Pre-orders are live now on the Nintendo eShop, and the Complete Edition is there too with a limited-time 30% discount.

Square Enix also confirmed the sixth expansion, Evercold, for January 2027, alongside the Beyond the Lifestream Final Fantasy VII Remake raid series and an Evangelion-themed alliance raid.
