Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade’s Free Switch 2 Demo Is Now Live"},"content":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n

Naoki Hamaguchi teased<\/a> it earlier this year, but surprise! The free Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade<\/a> demo is now live on the Switch 2 eShop<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We’ve got a new trailer (above) showcasing what you can expect from this one on Switch 2 and Xbox \u2014 though, if you have already played it elsewhere, the cutscene content will be old news.<\/p>\n

The free demo will take you through the entirety of the opening Mako Reactor 1 bombing mission, and yes, your save data will carry over to the main game, so there’s no need to worry about playing it all through again next year.<\/p>\n

Those who play through the demo will be gifted the bonus items \u201cRevival Earrings\u201d and \u201cSurvival Set\u201d in the full game when it releases on 22nd January 2026.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, FFVII Remake plays at a “stable” 30fps<\/a> on Switch 2, but that hasn’t stopped everyone who has played it from having a wonderful time. We loved our time with the port when we went hands-on at Gamescom<\/a> earlier this year, and Digital Foundry previously called it “The best-looking thing” on Switch 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Will you be checking out this free FFVII demo? Let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
