During the latest Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase, several games were announced that initially seemed to be exclusive to Nintendo consoles. However, Square Enix has decided to break down barriers and bring its upcoming releases to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC as well. This decision reinforces their commitment to gamers across all platforms and is especially welcome on Xbox.

This news confirms that Octopath Traveler 0 and The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales will not be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch or its successor, but will also be available on Xbox Series, PlayStation 4 and 5, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. The move is significant and marks a substantial change in how Square Enix has handled its releases in the past.

Two major RPGs also coming to Xbox

Octopath Traveler 0 is a new installment in the series with an HD-2D style, once again betting on the formula of interconnected characters and beautiful environments. The first two games in the series arrived on Xbox Series and now this prequel will follow, which is great news for fans of classic JRPGs on Microsoft’s console.

On the other hand, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a new intellectual property with a colorful aesthetic and action-exploration gameplay in isometric perspective. This title will arrive in 2026 and will have versions for Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series, PS5, and PC.

With this move, Square Enix reinforces its multi-platform strategy, a decision that not only expands its player base but also strengthens the presence of Japanese titles on Xbox. A trend that seems to be here to stay in future releases and breaks with years of limited exclusives.
