It's considered by many to be the greatest JRPG ever made, and after 23 years it's finally out on PC. Chrono Trigger is out now on PC for the very first time, and it's been remastered - but not drastically altered from the SNES original.
You can pick Chrono Trigger up on Steam. Square Enix has added a number of new features and improvements to the game, "while keeping the atmosphere of the original".
The PC version comes with the following new features, many of which have been taken from the improved Nintendo DS version of the game (which most fans consider is the superior version of Chrono Trigger):
- Two Extra Dungeons – Includes the mysterious “Dimensional Vortex” dungeon and “Lost Sanctum” dungeon that first appeared in the Nintendo DS® and mobile releases
- CHRONO TRIGGER Limited Edition - Those that purchase the STEAM version until April 2, 2018 will receive the following digital bonuses for free:
- An enchanting and specially edited digital song file containing a medley of five songs: “Far Off Promise,” “Wind Scene,” “Battle with Magus,” “Corridors of Time,” and “Chrono Trigger”
- Composer Yasunori Mitsuda’s digital liner notes
- A collection of six stunning PC wallpapers in varying sizes
- Updated Graphics and Sound – While keeping the atmosphere of the original, this version features optimized visuals designed for modern PCs and a re-recorded soundtrack under the supervision of original composer Yasunori Mitsuda.
- Updated Controls - Optimized PC experience that supports both controller and mouse/keyboard configuration
- New Autosave Feature - Automatically saves while still featuring the original title’s Save Point function

Chrono Trigger is a time-travelling epic from Square Enix, following main characters Crono, Marle and Lucca as they try to fix time and save the world. The characters are fun and fantastic, the plot gets right to the point immediately and doesn't overload you with detail, it still feels original two decades later, and the Active Time Battle system has never been bettered - and was copied by Square's recent RPGs I Am Setsuna and Lost Sphear.
