Octopath Traveler is now available on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4

Square Enix has suddenly released Octopath Traveler on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 today on the PlayStation Store. This first entry in the Octopath Traveler series has actually never been released on a PlayStation platform before, but Octopath Traveler II did come to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 simultaneously when it released on PC and Nintendo Switch.

Octopath Traveler originally released for the Switch on July 13, 2018 and later came to PC via Steam on June 7, 2019. It recently came to Xbox Game Pass several years ago on March 25, 2021.

The title features eight protagonists - Olberic, Cyrus, Therion, Ophilia, Primrose, Alfyn, Tressa, and H'aanit. Players can choose to start their playthrough with any of the eight characters and venture throughout the land recruiting the others, while witnessing their own personal story arcs.

Octopath Traveler is available for $59.99 USD on PlayStation Store and a bundle that includes both the first Octopath Traveler & Octopath Traveler II is available for $74.99 USD. PlayStation Plus members can purchase it at a discount for $39.59 USD.

Today, Square Enix announced that Octopath Traveler is now available to purchase for the PlayStation 5 (PS5) and PlayStation 4 (PS4) consoles and Octopath Traveler II  is now available for the first time on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, meaning that the award-winning RPG series is now available to play across all current console platforms and PC (Windows PC and Steam).

Square Enix also announced that from today, Xbox Game Pass subscribers can complete the full OCTOPATH experience on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass where both Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler II are available to download via the Game Pass library.

Since its launch in 2018 with Octopath Traveler, the Octopath Traveler series has sold over four million copies worldwide*, popularizing the unique HD-2D art style: a striking blend of 2D characters designs in beautiful 3D worlds. Both games are a standalone experience set in different worlds with eight distinct protagonists, each with their own stories to explore and Path Actions to use. Players will embark on a grand adventure and steer their own journey, depending on whom they choose to play as.

To celebrate the Octopath Traveler series being available on all current consoles and PC (Windows PC and Steam), Team Asano have added a free update to Octopath Traveler II, including ‘Extra Battle’ mode which will become available after defeating the final boss in the final chapter. The ‘Extra Battle’ mode lets players test their skills against newly added tough opponents - including the main characters of Octopath Traveler. This mode is available on Xbox consoles from launch and has been added to the PS5, PS4 console, Nintendo Switch system, and PC versions today via an update.

Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler II are now available across all current console platforms and PC (Windows PC and Steam) and are available to purchase individually or as a bundle. PlayStation Plus members who purchase Octopath Traveler before June 20, 2024 will receive a 34% early purchase discount. For more information, please visit: https://square-enix-games.com
