Square Enix pinpoints Switch 2 Final Fantasy 14 loading bug, fix in testing

Square Enix traced prolonged loading in the Switch 2 version of Final Fantasy 14 — launched 5 August 2026 — to data-reloading and cache-clearing processes in instanced duties when many characters are present. The publisher said it has optimised those processes and the updated version is in testing, with an update to be released as soon as possible.
