Octopath Traveler II, was made available on numerous platforms–including PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5–when it launched in February 2023. But the first entry in Square Enix’s hit RPG series, the original Octopath Traveler, still remains unavailable to PlayStation users. Fortunately, it looks like that’s about to change.
Recently, the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee rated Octopath Traveler II for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The sequel’s release on Xbox is something fans of the franchise have known about since it was announced in September 2023, but the Taiwanese game-rating committee’s official website also contains a surprise: The committee has rated the original Octopath Traveler for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, suggesting it will soon join its sequel on PlayStation consoles (via Gemastu).

Now Playing: The Hidden Side Of Octopath Traveler's Combat
It’s important to take the news with a grain of salt, as Octopath developer Square Enix hasn’t yet announced the release of Octopath Traveler for PlayStation consoles the way it announced the Xbox release last September. But the fact that it has been rated at all is likely indicative that the PlayStation release is indeed happening.
Giving PlayStation users access to the sequel without giving them access to the original game doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, so despite the lack of any official announcement from Square Enix, the fact that the game has now been rated for PlayStation in Taiwan certainly gives fans of the franchise (and those who have been looking forward to playing it) a reason to celebrate. That being said, the second game is not a direct sequel to Octopath Traveler, so you don’t need to play the first game in order to enjoy it
Although Square Enix did announce Octopath Traveler II’s arrival on Xbox consoles, it has yet to announce exactly when that arrival will happen, but according to a report from Exputer, it’s likely to be sometime this month. It’s possible that the PlayStation versions of the original Octopath Traveler could become available around the same time, since the Xbox versions of the sequel were rated by the Taiwanese committee alongside the PlayStation versions of the original game.
