Fans of Square Enix’s distinctive ‘HD-2D’ art style can look forward to the upcoming arrival of the Octopath Traveler collection on the Switch 2. This release will feature the initial two entries from the beloved role-playing game series. While both titles have been available to play on the original Nintendo Switch console for several years, their debut on the next-generation system brings a notable detail for the community.

The crucial point for players is the reported absence of an upgrade path, a decision that aligns with Square Enix’s prior approach regarding Switch 2 titles. Those who currently own Octopath Traveler and its sequel on the original Switch will not have a free or discounted option to transition to the new Switch 2 version. This means that players hoping to experience the collection on the new hardware, despite prior purchases, will find themselves without a straightforward upgrade route. This report is based on information initially shared by GameSpot.
