The Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee has rated the original Octopath Traveler for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.


The PlayStation versions of Octopath Traveler were rated alongside the Xbox Series version of Octopath Traveler II, suggesting the release date for the long-awaited Xbox release will be announced alongside it. Exputer recently reported that the Xbox Series version is set to launch in June, and will also be available via Xbox Game Pass.

PS4 well into its 11th year in the market:

I don't know if us GP users are the "paypigs" on this one or not. But thankfully everyone can now be happy.

Didn't you know? Everyone that buys this for full price on PlayStation is just paying for the other people who got it for free on Xbox... or something.

I got it on Switch, paid for part 1 on GP twice, and will likely buy them both again on Xbox so I'm technically stealing from myself.

I wonder if they will add anything to this version.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Squeenix took their bloody time with this one. Already have it on Switch so zero interest in this version.

 

[Mr Moose]

Didn't know Atlus worked for Square-Enix.

Is part 2 a direct sequel? Always wanted to play it but held off cause I wasn't sure. Would love to see the first come to PS4/PS5.

 

[squidilix]

Joke aside, is cool that's comming, even on PS4. (because 2 is on PS4)

This is also why I'm glad the sequel was announced and is seemingly dropping very soon for Xbox. Plenty of people (including myself) played the first one there.

Unrelated, with new world and characters.

Appreciate it!

By the way, Triangle Strategy, Bravely Default 2, Harvestella are still Switch/PC exclusive so I wonder if Squeenix have plans on bringing these titles to other platforms as well.

There's tons of games they could change their minds on. Xbox never even got I Am Setsuna. All the smaller AA stuff (AKA: the best stuff). I guess we'll see.

Triangle Strategy in particular is crazy. That should be on PS, Xbox, everything. It's one of their best games. I'd buy that a 2nd time without hesitation.

• Nintendo Switch - July 13, 2018

The game was released for Xbox One on March 25, 2021, and added to the Xbox Game Pass service on the same day.

I loved these 3 games. Triangle Strategy and BD are absolute S-tier and Harvestella was surprisingly great too.

Pretty sure its a joke about the following:

Not until they port OT 1 to PS.

But I guess when it's PlayStation that misses out on a 3P exclusive people pretend the exclusivity doesn't exist huh?

Anyway, congrats to any of the Switch & PlayStation paypigs that funded OctoPath 2 as a Day 1 in Game Pass, I guess.

Spoiler

Don't buy Persona 6 on PS5. Let's see if Xbox players can pick up the B2P sales revenue slack

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Physical, yes?

I can't stand having a physical 2nd game without the 1st. It's not right.

The attempted joke doesn't make sense considering the respective release dates.

 

[Kilau]

Finally! But I no longer care about playing it on PS, I even forgot it wasn't already ported.

 

[Kupfer]

I'd buy a physical PS5 version of this.

 

[Spukc]

The spriteart is amazing in this game.

Shame that the fucking filters on top of it look like some cokehead gen z thot pics on insta

So, they shadow patched the PC version of Octopath Traveler II. You get to fight characters from Octopath Travelers, but you first need to have beaten the story. There's also a dual bundle of both games that I didn't know existed.

Shows up as €75 on Steam.

 

[Kupfer]

60€ for a digital license of a 6 year old game? Thats cheeky.

I would pay that kind of price for a nice deluxe edition with steelbook and a few extras, but not like this.

And giving a 34% discount directly to PS+ subscribers is also a big announcement, have the discounts always been this big right at release or is Sony possibly running out of subscribers and trying to acquire customers with this pricing?
I've been reading more and more that long-standing customers, among others, are dissatisfied with PS+ and are canceling or not renewing.

So who and what was stopping this square game coming to PS4 all these years?...

[Kokoloko85]

Lol. But was is Nintendo or Xbox?

If it was Playstation stopping these games coming to those systems we'd have multiple threads and articles from the media complaining about it

 

[Labadal]

Kokoloko85 Nintendo helped co-publish the first game. The rights reverted back to S-E a few weeks ago. My guess is that is why we are now seeing it on PS systems. If Xbox did a deal about the game, they would have needed to speak with both Square and Nintendo.
