Oh, look, Xbox “kicked off” its gamescom 2025 “Day 1” broadcast by announcing Triangle Strategy is gracing their consoles with its presence. And get this – it’s available TODAY! Like, who even asked for this? 🙄 Seriously, did anyone wake up this morning thinking, “OMG, I NEED Triangle Strategy on my Xbox!”? I highly doubt it.
So, the tactical RPG from the “geniuses” behind OCTOPATH TRAVELER (yeah, THAT game) is finally crawling its way onto new platforms after its oh-so-exclusive run on the Nintendo Switch. Apparently, we’re supposed to be thrilled to experience the “war-torn” continent of Norzelia from “different perspectives” in “HD-2D.” HD-2D? Is that like… 4K but worse? 🤔 And it’s got a turn-based strategy battle system! Groundbreaking! The game already launched for Nintendo Switch and PC, selling over a million copies. Wow, a million! That’s, like, a rounding error for a real game. And after this earth-shattering reveal during the Xbox Gamescom 2025 broadcast, you can now waste your time on it on Xbox. Peep the trailer below, if you dare. 🤮
Oh, and CGMagazine’s review of Triangle Strategy called it “a game that had some interesting ideas but was not quite sure how to make them into a completely fun experience” back in 2022. Translation: it’s kinda boring. But hey, now it’s on Xbox! 🎉 It’s worth mentioning that while this “gem” is coming to Xbox, it won’t be showing up on Xbox Game Pass. Because, you know, even they have standards…sort of. 🤷
But wait, there’s more! To celebrate this momentous occasion, Xbox is practically giving it away! Well, not really. It’s listed on the Xbox Store for a whole 15 percent discount! 🎉🎉🎉 That’s right, folks, you can snag this masterpiece for the low, low price of $41.99! What a steal! Originally $59.99 which no one paid anyway, right? You have to buy it within the next 14 days, though, or you’ll miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Because nothing screams “must-buy” like a limited-time discount on a game nobody asked for. 🤣
And because no hype train is complete without some fabricated fan reactions, people are allegedly thrilled about the release. Some “fans” have taken to Reddit (because that’s a reliable source) to express their “elation” around the announcement. One brave soul on the thread revealing the launch trailer apparently said, “No freaking way dude that slaps.” Shakespeare is shaking. Another fan expressed their undying love with, “Great news. I was hoping for a port when they announced the other 2D -3D games.” I’m not crying, you’re crying. 😭
So, there you have it, folks. Triangle Strategy is available NOW for Xbox, and you can throw your money away by purchasing it digitally straight from the Xbox Store. But hey, don’t say I didn’t warn you when you’re sitting there wondering why you spent your precious gaming time on this. 😉🎮
