With a release window of “Autumn 2023”, the remasters are set to be available digitally as either a bundle of Final Fantasies I through VI, or individually. This should be quite a welcomed dose for nostalgic fans.Update: Square Enix has officially revealed that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters are coming to both PS4 and Switch, with physical Standard and Collector’s Editions also on the way in select markets. The last major change coming to the console release of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters is the option to toggle between the updated orchestral soundtracks implemented in the PC release and the original soundtracks from the initial releases of each game on NES / SNES. Even more, those who wish to breeze through areas without engaging with the battle system can completely turn off encounters in the console release. This should make it considerably faster to move through each game for those looking to simply revisit the story and world of an old favorite without having to grind so much. In addition to the return of auto-battle, PS4 and Switch players will also be able to boost experience and money (gil), earning rates up to 4x.

The most notable change coming to the console releases of the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters is the ability to switch between the PC release’s font and a new pixelated font that Square Enix feels better represents the look of the original versions of the games on 8-bit and 16-bit consoles. What’s New in the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters on PS4 and Switch Compared to on PC? Here are all the differences between the PC and console releases of the six Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. The PS4 and Switch versions of Final Fantasy I – VI come with all of the original collection’s trappings of improved visuals, updated UIs, and more – but each entry’s move to consoles is also sporting some new highly requested features. While PC and mobile players have been able to enjoy the full range of Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters since early in 2022, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch owners are finally getting a chance to check out Square Enix‘s revamped versions of the series’s first six titles as of April 19, 2023.
