Holiday sales have become an increasingly important part of the games market, with publishers and retailers using November discounts to bring big-budget releases to players who may have skipped them at launch. That pattern is already underway for Nintendo Switch 2: Amazon has listed early Black Friday price cuts on four Square Enix RPGs, giving owners a chance to build out their libraries before the main shopping rush begins.
Four Square Enix RPGs lead the early offers
The current Switch 2 deals focus entirely on Square Enix titles, ranging from the company’s high-profile Final Fantasy 7 remakes to newer RPG releases. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade has fallen to $24.88 from $39.99, making it the least expensive game in the group. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is also reduced, dropping from $49.99 to $34.99. Together, the two games cover different stages of Cloud Strife’s journey: Remake Intergrade focuses on Midgar, while Rebirth takes the story further beyond the city.
Discounts cover both action and turn-based RPG fans
Players looking outside Final Fantasy can find two additional reductions. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is listed at $44.99, down from $59.99, while Octopath Traveler 0 has been reduced from $49.99 to $29.99. The selection offers notably different approaches to the genre. The Adventures of Elliot uses real-time combat and a time-traveling premise, whereas Octopath Traveler 0 leans into traditional turn-based battles and a storyline about restoring a ruined hometown. Octopath Traveler 0’s 40% reduction is the deepest percentage discount among the four listed games.
Early sales arrive before November’s biggest releases
Black Friday officially falls on November 27, but retailers have increasingly started promotions weeks earlier as holiday inventory reaches stores. More Switch 2 discounts may emerge during November, although the available offers can change or end without warning. One major release that may be harder to find at a substantial discount is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is scheduled to launch on November 5 as a full remake of the Nintendo 64 original. Smaller retailer-specific pre-order savings have appeared, but a large sale soon after release appears less likely.

Expert View
These offers underline how quickly holiday retail campaigns now begin, even for a relatively new console library. For Switch 2 owners, the timing is especially useful because the discounts target long-form RPGs that can occupy players through the holiday period. Square Enix’s presence across all four deals also suggests the publisher is using the seasonal window to broaden the audience for its Switch 2 catalogue ahead of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s planned 2027 launch on major platforms.
