Final Fantasy X turns 25 on 19 July 2026 — and Square Enix is marking the occasion with the most convenient version of the classic JRPG yet. Final Fantasy X|X-2 HD Remaster arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 on 23 July, and Bandai Namco Asia has confirmed a physical edition for Southeast Asia, meaning Singapore fans can finally grab both games on a single cartridge for their new console.
What the Switch 2 HD Remaster Brings
The package bundles both Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 — over 100 hours of gameplay — into one release. The Switch 2 edition builds on the HD Remaster that’s been available on PlayStation and PC for years, adding a handful of quality-of-life upgrades that make it the best way to play either game:
- Full HD visuals with significant resolution improvements to characters, monsters, and environments compared to the original Switch version
- No random encounters toggle — ideal for players replaying the story or just trying to cross a dungeon without a wipe
- High-speed mode for grinding and turn-based battles
- All International Version content included, covering the Expert Sphere Grid, Dark Aeons, Penance, and the Last Mission epilogue for FFX-2
One important caveat: save data is not compatible between the Switch and Switch 2 versions, so if you had a near-complete save on the original Switch release you’ll be starting fresh.
Southeast Asia Gets the Physical Edition
Bandai Namco Asia has confirmed a physical release for the region, giving Singapore players the option of a boxed copy alongside the digital launch. Pricing for Southeast Asia has not been announced yet — check your preferred local retailers and digital games stockists closer to the 23 July launch date for SGD pricing details. The digital version is priced at US$49.99 in Western markets.
For those who prefer physical media, this is the edition to watch for. A Japan physical edition follows at ¥7,480 — but the SEA boxed release, handled by Bandai Namco Asia, has historically launched alongside Japan at local retailers and games stores in Singapore and the region.
A Full Month of FFX Celebrations
The Switch 2 launch sits in the middle of a packed anniversary calendar. Square Enix has designated July as FFX 25th Anniversary Month, with the official anniversary falling on 19 July — exactly 25 years after the original PS2 launch in Japan. The series has sold over 20 million units worldwide across all platforms.
Beyond the Switch 2 launch, Square Enix has lined up a string of in-game collaborations and merchandise drops this month:
- Dissidia Duelum Final Fantasy — Tidus is playable through 28 July, with up to 100 free ability pulls across four weeks
- Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent — Tidus, Yuna, and Aeron are available through 16 July (story content until 13 August); one character is guaranteed free
- Emberstoria — Tidus and Yuna join as new Embers, with a free Tidus guaranteed ticket through 31 July
Anniversary Merchandise and Music
Physical collectors have already had a few things drop: the FFX LP Vinyl Set -Eternal Calm- launched 1 July with 20 curated soundtrack tracks across two records, packaged with a download code. The Visual Art Book -Eternal Spira- (128 pages, A4 hardcover, ¥2,750) and the Memorial Album (352 pages, ¥3,520) both released 3 July through Square Enix’s Japanese shop and participating retailers.
A fan art project is also running through 31 July — details on Square Enix’s official FFX 25th anniversary site (Japanese). Most merchandise is currently Japan-market only, but the vinyl set and some plush toys have been available to import via proxy services for regional fans.
For Singapore players, the most actionable news is the 23 July Switch 2 launch and the confirmed SEA physical edition. More details on game news as we get closer to the date. Source: Final Fantasy official JP site (Japanese); RPG Site; Bandai Namco Asia.
