Digital Foundry is now fully independent! Join the DF Supporter Program and support the team: https://bit.ly/3jEGjvx Does the final release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth improve on the demo release? The answer depends on your platform; for Switch 2 users there's good news here in that its 30fps target is more keenly met. Fewer drops, less aggressive frame-time spikes are all made possible thanks to Square Enix's tweaks under the hood of this Unreal Engine 4 release. That state of Xbox Series X and S is less glowing though, with scarcely any signs of improvement from the demo slice - meaning their 60fps modes aren't on track.

Hearing the gulf between wattage of power of Switch 2 compared to PS5 - as low as 10 for Sw 2 to as high as 240 for PS5 is nuts
It's amazing what games can run on when devs get longer time to optimize their games
The Switch 2 has a very bright future ahead of itself. The June Direct can't come soon enough to see what else is coming.
At least the Series S will have a few years of game ports left since developers will be doing SW2 versions.
What a game to play on a portable. Simply beautiful.
Very nice to see a performance increase from the demo build on switch 2, it looks great and I’ll be picking it up day one. I still remember when ppl thought this game wasn’t possible on it lol
Switch 2 version is an impressive port no doubt
Cloud😎saves would have been lovely. I would have enjoyed bouncing from PS5 to Switch 2
My body is aching to go home and play this masterpiece. I’m so glad SE put in the work to bring this entry to Switch 2 in such good quality.
13:40 do I need to clean my glasses? What in the world is this?
the fact that this runs on switch 2 is pretty impressive. I'll stick to my ps5 copy but if i was to go portable, switch 2 all the way
Steam Deck vs Switch 2 . Nintendo won the handheld market DLSS made sure of that
Great game with great performance on Switch 2. love it when it makes the machine sweat.
Good job on the Switch 2 version. The character models kept a lot of fidelity.
I literally bought a ps5 for rebirth, never imagined it would come to the switch 2 let alone look this good!
Well, I don’t particularly care about this version of the game, but I’m certainly happy to see vegetable quality improve.
FF rebirth is on sale on PlayStation just snagged both games intergrade and rebirth for like $35
Can’t wait to replay this masterpiece on NS2 If part 3 looks like this, I’ll buy it on both PS5 and NS2 also
Rebirth deserves more love. Great game imo
It's pretty crazy how much cleaner and sharper the switch 2 version looks vs series s, even in quality mode lol. I love how they managed to improve on the demo version as well.
