Digital Foundry Analyzes Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Ambitious Switch 2 Port
Digital Foundry has published a technical analysis of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth running on the Nintendo Switch 2, characterizing it as an ambitious port that makes intelligent compromises to deliver the experience on less powerful hardware. The analysis dives into the specific technical adjustments Square Enix implemented, including resolution scaling, texture quality reductions, and geometry simplifications.
Despite these cuts, Digital Foundry notes that the port retains the core visual identity and gameplay experience of the original PS5 release. The analysis highlights this as a showcase for what the Switch 2 hardware is capable of, demonstrating that even demanding current-generation titles can be brought to Nintendo's platform with the right technical approach and willingness to make targeted sacrifices.
