[UPDATE]: Square Enix has added that the Switch 2 versions of both games will release on October 1st 2026 for the West. There will also unfortunately be no option for Switch 1 owners to upgrade or carry over their saves to the Switch 2 version.

“There is also a Nintendo Switch™ version of this game. Please select the version you require carefully. There are no plans to sell an upgrade pack to upgrade the Nintendo Switch™ version to the Nintendo Switch™ 2 version. Save data is incompatible between the Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch™ 2 versions.”
