Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter PS5 Price and Demo

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is on PS5 as one of four launch platforms, released September 17, 2026 alongside Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch and Steam. PlayStation Store lists the standard edition at $59.99, with offline play enabled, 1 player, Remote Play support and vibration with the DualSense wireless controller. The store also shows a 4.87 out of 5 average from 1.3K player ratings, which is the clearest platform-specific signal available at launch. Because it is a full remake of Trails in the Sky SC, the PS5 version is the same game as the 2006 story rather than a sequel to it.

Is Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter on PS5?

Yes, and it was a launch platform rather than a later port. The official Japanese product page lists PlayStation 5 among the four supported platforms for the September 17, 2026 release, and the official English site links straight to the PlayStation Store. PlayStation Store itself confirms the release date as 9/17/2026, names GungHo Online Entertainment, Inc. as publisher, and files the game under Role Playing Games. There is no separate PS5 release date or delayed version anywhere in the official material.

One naming note saves confusion later. The 2006 original and the 2026 remake share a story but not a platform history. PlayStation hardware has hosted earlier versions of Trails in the Sky SC in some regions, but those releases are not the remake, and nothing from their store listings carries over to this one.

PS5 price and editions

Item	Price	Notes
Standard Edition	$59.99	Main game, digital
Digital Deluxe Edition	$79.99	Main game plus Season Pass
Season Pass	$24.99	Cosmetic content, sold separately
Extra DLC Pack	$14.99	Bundle of the five Extra DLC items, outside the Season Pass
Demo	Free	Roughly ten hours, save carries over
Free Sample Set	Free	Free add-on set listed on the store

Those prices are the US PlayStation Store figures, and they match the official site's US pricing, which is why the standard edition and Digital Deluxe numbers can be quoted with confidence. The Extra DLC Pack is worth knowing about specifically because it sits outside the Season Pass and is sold as its own $14.99 bundle. Individual add-ons on the store range from $1.49 cosmetic sets up to $14.99 costume collections.

Physical copies exist too. PlayStation Store sells the digital editions, while the official product page lists a PS5 physical Standard Edition as available now. Amazon's PS5 listing shows the physical release in stock at $59.99, which is a retailer availability signal rather than an official price source. The SteelBook Edition collector's set also covers PS5, with preorders closed on the official page.

What PS5 players get

PlayStation Store's feature list for the PS5 version is short and specific. Offline play is enabled and the player count is 1, so the game does not require a connection once installed. Remote Play is supported, and PS5 and PS Portal cloud streaming is supported only with a Premium subscription — the two are separate, so Remote Play does not depend on the Premium tier. Vibration is supported with the DualSense wireless controller, and the store explicitly labels the product as the PS5 Version.

Carrying over your previous save is part of the PS5 experience. The store's key features say that by carrying over clear data from Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter you obtain bonus items that smooth out the story's opening. The same block lists the new Crafts and S-Crafts, the Brave Rush link attacks in Quick Battles, and the orbment system behind Arts, plus side content such as fishing and poker, cooking with companions and returning characters joining as playable party members.

On trophies, be careful with numbers. PS5 has its own trophy list, but the trophy total and the platinum name could not be confirmed from an authoritative source (to confirm). The 49 achievement figure that circulates widely is a Steam number, not a PlayStation one.

Languages and content rating on PS5

PlayStation Store lists the voice languages as English and Japanese, and the screen languages as English, French (France), German and Spanish (single source, PlayStation Store). That is a shorter list than the eight languages Steam advertises, and the difference is a store-level difference rather than a contradiction — each store describes its own product, so read language lists per store. English and Japanese are the two languages with full voice work in the remake.

The store shows an ESRB age-rating badge with the descriptors Blood, Fantasy Violence, Language, Simulated Gambling, Suggestive Themes, and Use of Alcohol and Tobacco. Only the descriptors are quoted here: the rating letter behind them could not be confirmed from the ESRB's own site (to confirm). Everything else on the listing — publisher, release date, price, feature flags — is store-published text.

Reviews and player ratings

The PlayStation Store rating sits at 4.87 out of 5 from 1.3K ratings, and it is the only platform-side rating published on the PlayStation listing itself (single source). The Steam side of the same game sits at 96.5% positive from 994 reviews, which gives a second, independent read on how the release landed in its first week. Those two numbers are not directly comparable, because one is a star average from verified owners and the other is a positive-review percentage.

Media coverage exists across all four platforms and is broadly positive, including a Nintendo World Report review that scored the Switch 2 release 8.5 out of 10. That fact — that reviews exist and lean favourable — is well supported, but individual outlet scores should be read at the outlet, because no single aggregator figure was verifiable for this release. The reviews page covers the evidence in more detail.

PS5 version compared with the others

PS5 is the platform with the most documented convenience features on its own store page: offline play, Remote Play, DualSense vibration and PS Portal cloud streaming with Premium. It also lists the shortest published text-language set of the four, at English, French, German and Spanish. Steam, by contrast, is the only platform with published PC system requirements and lists eight languages, but it is also the one platform with no planned release for the Extra DLC Pack.

If you want the full four-way breakdown, the platform comparison page puts the store listings side by side. If you are deciding between Nintendo hardware and PS5, the Switch 2 page covers the compatibility details that Nintendo's listing adds. Whichever you pick, start with the free demo and keep the save — it transfers into the full game on PS5 through Load Game at the title screen.
