Square Enix has shown new footage of the Final Fantasy XIV Online version for the Nintendo Switch 2. The MMORPG arrives on the console on August 4, 2026, and the demonstration shown by the development team begins around the 13-minute mark of a stream lasting more than two hours.

It will still be necessary to wait for the release to accurately assess the experience on the Switch 2, but the released footage indicates a version in good shape. The material includes more intense battles and moments with a greater number of elements on screen, offering an initial idea of how the game should perform on Nintendo's new hardware.

Those who want to experience Eorzea without buying the game will be able to use the free trial. The paid options are already available for pre-order on the eShop, but there is an important point to consider before downloading: [m]the estimated file size is 117 GB.[/m]

In addition to the storage space, players who already use Final Fantasy XIV Online on other platforms will need a separate subscription to play on the Switch 2.

The console release also comes before the MMORPG's next content: the Evercold expansion is scheduled for January 2027.
