Final Fantasy Tactics Remake Has Free Nintendo Switch 2 Upgrade

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles’ physical edition for Nintendo Switch will have a free Switch 2 visual and performance upgrade when it launches September 30. The Switch 2 Upgrade Pack is actually already available to “preorder” (claim for free) on the eShop. This is notable because Square Enix isn’t releasing a physical edition for Switch 2. Without the free upgrade, longtime fans would be locked into the digital edition on Switch 2, or play the Switch edition without the frame rate and graphical enhancements. Switch 2 owners would also miss out on a pretty cool physical edition bonus at Amazon.

The Amazon Exclusive Edition for Nintendo Switch and PS5 includes a double-sided poster in the box. The poster has character art on one side and the job class flowchart on the other. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles costs $50 regardless of where you buy the physical edition, so it makes sense to snag a copy from Amazon while it’s still available.

Since the poster is included in the box, this technically isn’t a preorder bonus. That said, Amazon Exclusive Editions of games have been known to sell out before launch or shortly after. Once that happens, the next batch of copies from Amazon likely won’t have the poster inside.

The revamped version of the classic turn-based tactics game is also getting a Square Enix Store-exclusive Collector’s Box for $200, but it sold out not long after preorders opened in June.
