News: If you have been waiting for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters to arrive on console, you won’t have to wait much longer.

Square Enix has revealed that the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters will finally be arriving on PlayStation and Nintendo Switch later this month. Unfortunately, Square Enix continues to largely ignore Xbox gamers, but at least these games will finally be available to console gamers. The pixel remaster series consists of Final Fantasy 1 through Final Fantasy VI and brings all of the magic of the originals combined with quality of life upgrades while staying faithful to the retro design.

In Final Fantasy pixel remaster series, players can expect some unique features for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch version, including the option to switch between the rearranged and original-based soundtrack for the game, as well as a choice of in-game fonts – players can now opt to play using the game’s default font or a pixel-based font. Additionally, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch players can also expect additional boost features to expand gameplay options, including switching off random encounters and adjusting experience gained multipliers between 0 and 4.

All six titles in the Final Fantasy pixel remaster series will be available to digitally purchase individually or as a complete series in the Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle from PlayStation Store or Nintendo eShop. Starting today, players can pre-order the Nintendo Switch version digitally. Players who purchase the Nintendo Switch version by May 25, 2023 will receive two themed Wallpapers based on the individual games(s) purchased from the Final Fantasy pixel remaster series. Players who purchase the complete series in the Final Fantasy I-VI Bundle will receive all 12 themed Wallpapers.
