FF7 Remake on Switch 2 hinges on key-card format to manage load and storage
Square Enix says Final Fantasy 7 Remake isn’t feasible on Nintendo Switch 2 without game-key cards because loading from a cartridge is too slow and cart storage is insufficient for the full game data; the key-card format allows high-speed storage access and data swapping during play. The company notes that, with Switch 2’s performance, a large-scale design like the game’s can be optimized per platform, which is why they released FF7 Remake as a key-card title and plan to bring FF7 Rebirth (and its trilogy) in a similar fashion. The Switch 2 version is already available, with Rebirth due in June.
