Now screaming.
The Kingdom Hearts series comes to Nintendo Switch next month on 10th February via cloud-only versions of various games – and at a price.
Individually, you’ll be able to pick up Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Cloud Version for $40. Both Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Cloud Version and Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind (DLC) Cloud Version cost $50 each.
Alternatively, you can get the lot via the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece for Cloud edition, which is priced at $90. (At the moment, there’s a 20 percent off offer if you pre-order – meaning this is temporarily $72.)
These prices are live now via the Kingdom Hearts website and US eShop. We’ve asked Square Enix for UK-specific pricing and will update when we get it through.
In the meantime, the $90 price point – especially just for a licence to stream these games – has raised eyebrows among fans.
It’s not the first time Square Enix has been embroiled in pricing controversy, either. In December, Square Enix slapped Forspoken with a £65 price on Steam – around £15 more than many other big PC launches.
Around the same time, the PC Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade initially popped up with a placeholder £70 pricetag, though this was changed to £65 also.
