For the second time in 72 hours Square Enix has shadow dropped one of its better received Switch RPGs on Switch 2, but is doing its previous buyers no favours.

A Switch 2 version of 2023's Star Ocean: The Second Story R was published on the eShop a short time ago for US$49.99 or equivalent. Web store links are down as of press time but it is available on console. As with prior Square Enix Switch 2 reissues, there is no upgrade option or ability to move a save over from the Switch version.

Neal Ronaghan gave the original Switch release high marks in his 2023 review: "Star Ocean: The Second Story R is a great remake of a less heralded PlayStation RPG."
