Overview
- Square Enix announced the Switch 2 port during the Anaheim Fan Festival keynote with a summer release window, reported as August by multiple outlets.
- After the keynote, director Naoki Yoshida said the team is working hard on optimization to get the best performance from Nintendo’s new hardware.
- He cautioned that frame rates may drop in crowded towns because the game must draw many player characters on screen at once.
- He added that Duty content — the game’s instanced dungeons and raids — should hold a stable 30 frames per second.
- Nintendo Everything reports the Switch 2 version will require a separate subscription from Nintendo Switch Online, a detail not confirmed by Square Enix in these articles.
