'Square Enix,' one of the largest game development and publishing studios in the world, recently released its action RPG 'Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin' on the Steam gaming platform. The game was previously available on modern consoles including Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, as well as on PC exclusively through the Epic Games platform.
However, just over one year since the release of the title, the game is now available on the Steam platform. This is substantial as Steam is the largest gaming platform on PC, and many players will not venture outside of Steam, and simply choose to wait for games to be available on said platform.
While the game originally launched last year at an MSRP of $79.99 CAD, the game is now available for a reduced price of $53.49.
