Digimon Story: Time Stranger will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Although the game was officially announced back in 2017, during the PS4 and Xbox One era, the long development period has led to a focus on next-generation consoles, excluding support for the previous generation, as well as the Nintendo Switch family. However, there is a possibility of a future port for a potential Nintendo Switch 2, though it remains unclear if it would also be compatible with the original Nintendo Switch.
The excitement surrounding the release of Digimon Story: Time Stranger reflects the enduring popularity of the franchise, and anticipation is building as gamers count down the days to this landmark launch.
