Star Ocean: The Second Story R Gets Switch 2 Edition, But No Upgrade Path

Square Enix has surprise-released a Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Star Ocean: The Second Story R, the beloved sci-fi RPG that previously launched on the original Switch and PlayStation platforms. The announcement arrived ahead of the franchise's 30th anniversary, giving the game a fresh moment in the spotlight. However, the excitement was quickly tempered by a familiar frustration from the publisher: there is no upgrade path available for players who already own the Switch 1 version.
