Square Enix has announced that the Final Fantasy series has surpassed a whopping 200 million sales worldwide, five million of which have come from 2023’s Pixel Remasters.
To mark the occasion, the studio has released a new patch for all six games in the collection, bringing the Switch editions up to ver. 1.2.0. The patch doesn’t address anything too drastic in the titles, though there are a good number of balancing tweaks and bug fixes to help things run that bit smoother.
