Final Fantasy VII Rebirth requires 102.5 GB

Square Enix’s *Final Fantasy VII Rebirth* is due on Nintendo Switch 2 on June 3, according to Nintendo’s U.S. store page and Square Enix’s February announcement. Nintendo’s listing says the game is available digitally on Switch 2 and describes it as the second title in the *Final Fantasy VII* remake trilogy. Square Enix said on February 9 that the Switch 2 and Xbox versions would launch on June 3, 2026, with digital pre-orders opening across platforms. ### Where does the 102.5 GB figure come from? Nintendo’s public U.S. store page surfaced in search results with the release date and product description, but not a visible file-size line in the snippet reviewed. The 102.5 GB requirement cited in circulation on Monday appears to come from third-party reports tracking the Switch 2 eShop listing, including eTeknix and other gaming outlets that said the game would require just over 100 GB of free space. (nintendo.com) That would put *Rebirth* among the biggest Switch 2 downloads reported so far. ### What is Nintendo and Square Enix officially saying about the Switch 2 version? Square Enix said the Switch 2 edition is part of the June 3 rollout alongside Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC. The publisher also said the release includes a “Streamlined Progression” feature on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox platforms, with options such as unlimited MP and HP, unlimited limit and ATB gauge during battles, and 9,999 damage to speed players through the story. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s product page says players will continue Cloud Strife’s journey beyond Midgar, with chocobo traversal, large environments and the story arc leading toward “The Forgotten Capital.” The listing identifies the game as a standalone adventure for newcomers and returning players, matching Square Enix’s description of the title as the second entry in a three-part remake project.

Square Enix said physical pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 edition include a promotional *Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY* Zack Fair card while supplies last. Retail listings from major U.S. sellers also show a June 3 release for the Switch 2 version. Those listings confirm boxed availability, but they do not change the core storage question if a large download is still required for installation or play. (nintendo.com) ### How does this fit into the Switch 2 release calendar this week? Gematsu’s weekly Japanese release roundup listed *Final Fantasy VII Rebirth* for Xbox Series and Switch 2 among this week’s releases. Nintendo Everything had previously reported the Switch 2 version’s June 3 date after its February reveal, and Nintendo’s own store page now shows that same date in the United States. (na.finalfantasy.com) ### What else is coming next on Switch 2? Silver Lining Interactive and Sunny Lab said *The Witch’s Bakery* is scheduled for Switch 2 in August. Spike Chunsoft and Mages. said *Steins;Gate Re:Boot* will reach Switch 2 on October 29 in the West, after an earlier August 20 release for Xbox Series and PC. (gematsu.com) Nintendo’s store page lists *Final Fantasy VII Rebirth* for release on June 3, 2026, and Square Enix’s announcement says pre-orders are already open. The next dated checkpoint for Switch 2 players is that launch on Tuesday, followed by *The Witch’s Bakery* in August and *Steins;Gate Re:Boot* on October 29. (nintendo.com) (vgchartz.com)
