Square Enix's Switch 2 Ports Are Officially Failing Existing Owners

Square Enix announced Switch 2 versions for Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 recently, and now Star Ocean: The Second Story R is joining the party. As exciting as that is, though, Square Enix is repeating the same controversial decision it did with the Octopath Traveler Switch 2 versions and opting out of an upgrade for Star Ocean: The Second Story R fans who already own it on the older console. Nintendo's upgrade packs have helped original Switch players transition to the newer platform, but Square Enix is foregoing this route with some of its select games.
