Octopath Traveler Switch eShop Page Showing It as ‘Not Available’

There seems to be something going on with the original Octopath Traveler possibly being delisted in some way, as the Switch eShop listing is showing as “not available.” If someone already owns it, it still shows as “already downloaded.” [Thanks, Wario64!]

This issue is only showing up on the Switch eShop. The PC listing on Steam and Xbox One product page on the Microsoft Store are unaffected. However, the Switch version of the game was originally published by Nintendo, not Square Enix. As Gematsu’s social media pointed out on the Wario64 post, the publisher now changed. This means this is likely a case of Octopath Traveler being temporarily delisted as part of the shift.

When Octopath Traveler launched on the Switch, it appeared both digitally and physically. As such, it is still possible to find a cartridge with the game on it. Also, there are stores who sell codes for digital copies. If someone buys and redeems one of those, it will give them a digital copy even though the store doesn’t have it up for purchase.

Octopath Traveler is immediately available. People can find it on the Switch, Xbox One, and PC. Octopath Traveler 2 is out on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. There is also a mobile game spin-off called Octopath Traveler: Conquerors of the Continent.
