Octopath Traveler I & II Hit GOG on October 8

Ever wished you could own your favorite RPGs forever, no launcher drama required? Good news: Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler II are officially heading to GOG on October 8, 2026.

Square Enix made the announcement, and it's a double drop — both HD-2D adventures arrive on the same day. Even better, they're joining the GOG Preservation Program, the storefront's ongoing effort to keep classic and beloved games playable for the long haul. If you care about actually owning your library, that's a big deal.

And yes, there are launch discounts. The sales kick off at 12 AM PT on October 8 and run through October 18, so you've got a solid window to grab both titles at a reduced price. According to the announcement, the original Octopath Traveler will be 70% off during the promotion.

For anyone who's been curious about the series, this is a pretty tempting entry point. The first Octopath Traveler won fans over with its gorgeous HD-2D art style and eight distinct protagonists, each with their own story to chase across Orsterra. Octopath Traveler II followed up with a new cast and a fresh continent, refining the formula that made the original such a cult favorite.

Now, with both games landing on GOG — a storefront known for DRM-free releases — PC players get another way to experience them. Whether you're a longtime fan double-dipping or a newcomer wondering what all the fuss is about, October 8 is the date to circle.

The Preservation Program angle is worth noting too. GOG has been steadily building out this initiative, and having Square Enix's HD-2D duo on board signals that these RPGs are being treated as titles worth keeping accessible for years to come. That's the kind of long-term commitment PC players have been asking for.

So mark your calendar: October 8, 2026, 12 AM PT. Both games, one storefront, and discounts running through October 18. Will you be picking these up on GOG, or have you already played them elsewhere? Let us know in the comments.
