For fans of Spira looking to add a unique piece to their library, Square Enix has announced a special 25th Anniversary edition of the Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster for the Nintendo Switch 2. The title is scheduled for release on July 27, 2026, and is currently listed at Amazon Japan for $43.
This commemorative release stands out for its limited-edition slipcover, which features brand-new artwork of Tidus and Yuna. While previous iterations of the HD Remaster have utilized blue-toned imagery, this new illustration marks a shift in the game's anniversary branding. According to the official Final Fantasy X 25th Anniversary website, this sleeve is a limited collector's item exclusive to this anniversary year.
Importing Your Copy and What to Expect
Collectors should be aware that the game is currently only available via import. Because it is not being sold through US or UK storefronts, buyers will need to navigate international shipping and potential customs fees. It is also worth noting that fans should not expect the game to arrive by the July 27 release date, as international transit times will vary.
Technical requirements are also a factor for this physical release. The Switch 2 version is a game-key card release, meaning the software is not fully contained on the cartridge. Players will need to have 30GB of free space on their handheld console to download and install the games.
Expanding the 25th Anniversary Collection
The new 25th Anniversary depiction of Tidus and Yuna isn't restricted to the game's packaging. Square Enix has launched a range of merchandise featuring the new art, including a set of Final Fantasy TCG card sleeves. Additionally, the Final Fantasy X 25th Anniversary Visual Art Book is available for pre-order via Amazon Japan for $17.56. Like the game itself, this book is currently difficult to find at domestic retailers in the West.
For those building out their Nintendo Switch 2 collection, more opportunities to save may arrive soon. With Amazon Prime Day kicking off on July 23, retailers are expected to offer various deals on both full-on-cart and game-key card releases, making it a busy month for physical collectors.
