Announced today during the Octopath Traveler 8th Anniversary live stream, it's been confirmed that both the first game and its sequel will be launching on the Switch 2. Details remain sparse on exactly what these ports will feature, but going by Square Enix's other releases, we're likely looking at a bump to resolution and performance. It also remains to be seen whether any kind of upgrade path will be made available for the games, with this being something not at all common across the company's titles.

What we do know is that both games will be available exclusively via digital download later today. As soon as we know more, we'll be sure to update you.

To be fair it's not just Nintendo. Marvelous have used it for all of their games across both platforms as far as I know. SEGA did but only for Sonic Racing for some reason, then you have Trails in the Sky, Overcooked, Tamagotchi Plaza, and LolliPop Chainsaw to name a few off the top of my head.

Definitely not as many as could (or should honestly) be using it, but there are at least some out there.
Oh no others are using it. But I think Nintendo expected MOST developers to take this upgrade system. But most major developers actively avoid it and re-sell at full price.
