Square Enix has launched Octopath Traveler II on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One through the Microsoft Store and is also available on Game Pass. They initially announced that Octopath Traveler II would be coming to these platforms last September. The game originally launched on February 24, 2023 for the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC worldwide simultaneously.

A new update is also available for Octopath Traveler II, adding new post-game boss encounters in addition to minor adjustments. More information can be found in the press release below.

Octopath Traveler II features a new cast of eight protagonists – Osvald, Castti, Throné, Ochette, Partitio, Agnea, Temenos, and Hikari. It features huge visual improvements with the HD-2D graphical engine that the first Octopath Traveler pioneered. 

The title surpassed 1 million units worldwide as of June 2023. 

Octopath Traveler II is being sold for $59.99 USD on the Microsoft Store; Game Pass subscribers can download it for free. Also, the first Octopath Traveler has returned to Game Pass at the time of writing.

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
