Why Steam may show August 19 or August 20
Spike Chunsoft announced global Steam availability on August 20. Steam currently displays August 19 in the U.S. storefront. Both dates refer to the same launch rather than separate builds.
The one-day difference comes from how storefronts display the release timestamp across time zones. The publisher date is August 20; some Steam pages show August 19.
Which versions are playable now?
Steam is the currently playable Western platform. The four console versions remain scheduled products until October 29 arrives and their store builds unlock.
The Steam release supports Japanese voice audio with English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese text. It lists 41 achievements and approximately 30–50 hours of playtime.
