NIS America has launched Ys X: Proud Nordics on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC platforms today in the West following its Japanese debut last year for Switch 2.

Ahead of its launch today, NIS America also announced a Special Upgrade Pack discount on Steam, but it is coming March 6. If you haven't already done so, you can read Adam's thoughts on Proud Nordics here, my feature on how the Switch 2 Western release improves on the Japanese one here, my PC port feature here, and my long interview with PH3's Durante about the console and PC versions of Proud Nordics and Trails beyond the Horizon here. Details for all the DLC and save carryover can be found in my dedicated features here and here.

Ys X: Proud Nordics is now available in the West for PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam, GOG, Epic).
