For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, with a nearly 40-year history and a need to reach new generations of gamers (not to mention maximize profits!), Square Enix, like many publishers, has embraced multi-platform releases. Beyond PC ports, they've also prioritized remasters and special editions for Nintendo's handheld consoles.

This isn't entirely new territory. The Final Fantasy series' origins are deeply intertwined with Nintendo, with the first six mainline entries debuting on Nintendo platforms before the series shifted primarily to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII.

With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC launch and a significant Magic: The Gathering expansion bringing Final Fantasy back into the spotlight in 2025, many are eager to explore the series. Below is a comprehensive list of Final Fantasy games currently available on the Nintendo Switch for newcomers and returning fans alike.
