Up until recently, the Final Fantasy series has never caused much discourse for performance or graphical quality for its releases, usually being one of the series that highlights cinematic flair and still runs fairly smoothly. That, of course, changed with the somewhat lacking performance quality of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Final Fantasy 16. With a new FF on the horizon for Nintendo Switch 2, many fans may be happy to hear the recent demo reportedly ran great.
During Gamescom 2025, Digital Foundry went hands-on with Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and called it "the best-looking thing on Switch 2." He also compared it favorably to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game, saying it likely falls in between the two for its overall performance.
One of the biggest concerns for some fans when it comes to the Switch 2 is the performance quality of the third-party offerings. Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition ran poorly at the event, reportedly, with attendees unable to capture direct footage of the game's performance issues. The other major third-party game demoed at Gamescom was, of course, FF7 Remake Intergrade, and it has been getting almost nothing but glowing early impressions....
