Square Enix confirmed that the Nintendo Switch exclusive JRPG video game Octopath Traveler is coming to gaming PC. The critically-acclaimed JRPG will be made available on Steam and the Square Enix Store starting June 7.
The announcement was made on a now-deleted blog post on the Square Enix website that shows a list of the game’s features. These features include its gameplay, storyline, and details about the eight heroes in the game.
