What This Means for Singapore Players<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve been planning to pick up STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT on PS5 or Switch 2, you\u2019re now looking at a 70-day wait beyond the Steam launch<\/strong>. PC players on Steam remain on track for 20 August. No reason beyond schedule alignment has been given for the western console delay, and no physical edition announcements have been made for the region at this time.<\/p>\n

Keep an eye on the GameTrader.SG marketplace for pre-owned copies once the console version drops later in the year.<\/p>\n
