Square Enix has officially confirmed that Final Fantasy 14 will launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 this summer. However, players will need to pay for a separate subscription to access the game on Nintendo's upcoming console.
The announcement was made during the 2026 Fan Fest, where the company detailed the release timeline and subscription model for the MMORPG's debut on the hybrid platform. This marks the first time Final Fantasy 14 will be available on a Nintendo system, expanding its reach beyond PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
While the base game will be available for purchase, the subscription required to play is distinct from existing subscriptions on other platforms. Square Enix has not yet disclosed pricing details but confirmed that existing accounts will not carry over without an additional fee.
The news has sparked mixed reactions among fans, with many excited about the portability the Switch 2 offers but concerned about the extra cost. More details are expected closer to launch.
