Chrono Trigger Gets Surprise Steam Release
Square Enix is bringing one of the greatest RPGs of all time to a new platform. Today, the company made the surprise announcement that Chrono Trigger is now available on Steam.
Chrono Trigger originally released on SNES in 1995, though it has been ported over the years to platforms like DS and iOS. The Steam version (which costs $15) appears to be based on the iOS iteration, since it retains parts of that interface.
Square Enix says this version also has updated graphics and sound, in addition to an autosave feature and support for controller and keyboard/mouse.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
