Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Surprise Launches On Xbox Series X/S And PC Today

Without warning, Square Enix launched Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD on Xbox Series X/S and PC earlier today. If you’ve been bummed that the remaster of the 2014 RPG was locked away on Switch 2, today is your day (unless you only own a PlayStation).

The HD Remaster of Bravely Default, which originally launched for the Nintendo 3DS over a decade ago, features sharper visuals, an improved interface, new minigames, and expanded online features, among other improvements. The game first launched alongside the Switch 2 last June. To celebrate the launch, the game is currently 20 percent off ($31.99 down from $39.99) on Xbox and Steam. 

Bravely Default centers on four warriors of light who embark on an adventure to save the world of Luxendarc from an invading darkness. The turn-based battle system centers on its Brave and Default mechanics where players choose to spend points to execute several actions at once (Brave) or accumulate those points across multiple turns (Default). The game is the first in a series that includes Bravely Second: End Layer (2016) and Bravely Default II (2021). 

Players can pick up Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox for PC as well as on Steam. You can read our review of the original version of the game here.
