FF7 Rebirth and Remake Intergrade Slash Prices on Switch 2
Two of Final Fantasy VII’s biggest chapters are on sale for Switch 2 this weekend, and for handheld players that’s the rare deal that actually changes the math on a backlog. Amazon has the Day One Edition of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth at $34.99 — $15 off the sticker — with the exclusive Zack Fair Magic: The Gathering promo card bundled in. The card is collector bait, but the price is the story: a sprawling open-world Square Enix RPG for less than a first-party Nintendo release, shrink-wrapped and ready to travel.
Remake Intergrade sweetens it further at $29.99 — the cheapest we’ve seen the “ultimate version” of the first chapter. If you skipped the PS5 generation, and a lot of handheld-first players did, this is the most affordable on-ramp yet to a trilogy that closes next year with Revelation.
Beyond Midgar, in Your Bag: Rebirth’s $35 Price Point
A 30 percent cut on a physical Square Enix flagship deserves a closer look, because it’s the Day One Edition — Zack Fair promo card included — taking the hit. That’s the SKU that usually holds its price; retailers rarely lead their markdowns with the version collectors chase. Amazon putting Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for Switch 2 at $34.99, $15 under sticker, reads as real shelf inventory moving — and it’s a weekend price, not a new floor.
For handheld players, that $35 buys the rarest thing in the Switch 2’s launch year: a massive open-world RPG that slots cleanly into portable life. IGN’s own deals team puts it plainly — “It’s pretty great exploring beyond Midgar on the Switch 2.” Rebirth’s zones, side quests, and combat sims break into exactly the grab-a-session rhythm a handheld rewards, and a physical copy means no streaming, no remote-play compromise. And it pairs dangerously well with the $29.99 chapter right below.
Remake Intergrade at $29.99 Completes the Trilogy on One Console
Remake Intergrade’s $29.99 tag matters beyond the sticker. The source frames it as the “ultimate version” of the first chapter, the story that runs from Cloud’s mercenary work in Midgar’s slums to the escape that sets up everything Rebirth explores. For handheld players, the real value is continuity: between these two deals, the entire FF7 remake saga to date lives on one Switch 2 — no second platform, no repurchase, no save file stranded on a console you no longer carry.
With Revelation arriving next year, $64.98 for the first two chapters is a head start every later discount will struggle to beat. The takeaway: if you’ve been waiting to play FF7 on a portable, this is the weekend to commit. Weekend prices and physical inventory don’t wait for anyone — and once Switch 2’s library fills out with bigger ports, deals this sharp on Square Enix’s flagship saga are only going to get rarer.
