Rune Factory 4 Special is now available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC

There’s probably a pretty high chance that you’ve played Rune Factory 4 previously, what with it having been around on the 3DS and Switch for many a year. Now though that same game comes to Xbox, PlayStation and PC, all in Rune Factory 4 Special form. 

Available to purchase and download right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC, Rune Factory 4 Special looks to live out its finest life yet, coming to the most powerful consoles in the world with new shiny visuals and enhanced performance in tow. 

It’s priced at £24.99 from the Xbox Store (expect to pay roughly that on other storefronts) and will see you being given the chance to enjoy the critically acclaimed farming, life sim and RPG adventures on a whole new format. 

With ‘Another Episode’ included here to the usual base game, and full English and Japanese voice support in place, whether you have played Rune Factory 4 previously or not should matter little – this Special option is certainly one to appeal. 

We’re not sure we need to sit here and explain all the ins and outs of how this one works – there’s a big chance you’ll know already if you’re reading this piece – but we do fully advise you to check out our review of Rune Factory 4 Special and how it plays on Xbox Series X|S.
