Steins;Gate Re:Boot is facing a slight adjustment to its release schedule, with publisher Spike Chunsoft confirming that the Xbox Series X|S version will now arrive on October 29. The delay is intended to synchronize the release with the broader Western console launch, ensuring a unified rollout for the platform.

While Xbox players will need to wait until late October, the title remains on track for its August 20 debut in Japan across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Switch 2, and PC via Steam. Western PC users will also maintain their August 20 access, while console players in the West can expect the game to hit shelves on the new October date. Physical collectors can look forward to a Steelbook edition featuring exclusive cover art by character designer huke.

This reimagining of the iconic 2009 science-fiction visual novel utilizes M2’s E-Mote animation system to bring enhanced fluidity to character sprites.

These updates follow a series of franchise milestones, including the 2011 anime adaptation that currently holds an impressive 9.07 rating on MyAnimeList, cementing its status as one of the most acclaimed titles in the medium.
