Star Ocean: The Second Story R lands on Switch 2 with no upgrade path, fans angry

Square Enix released a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Star Ocean: The Second Story R (originally from 2023) with no upgrade path or save transfer for existing Switch owners, mirroring the backlash the company faced days earlier over Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 Switch 2 ports. Fans have reacted with anger at being forced to repurchase games they already own. The port is available now.
