Kingdom Hearts on Steam...PLEASE!!!

[The Brick Separator]

Does anyone else want Kingdom Hearts to come to Steam? It's my favorite series and would love an easier way to play it on the Steam Deck! I don't want to buy the Epic Games version because I don't know if I'll be able to get it to work with my limited PC gamer knowledge. I would love a native Steam version instead! Maybe there's a chance with all of the games coming over to Steam from other stores lately.

Up to the publisher. Which would be SquareEnix.

And if you know how to buy and download Steamgames, the Epic Games Store is no different in that regard.

I know that it should be easy. The problem is that I'm on the Steam Deck. I heard people say the game doesn't work with any protons and you have to write some text in the desktop mode. As a console gamer new to PC gaming in the last 6 months I have no confidence in my self to make it work right.

It'll happen.

Every other Squeenix game that was Epic exclusive has come to Steam, and going forward Square seems to have reaffirmed a good business relationship with Steam while mostly skipping Epic. This is telling as it suggests that the exclusivity agreement wasn't as lucrative as Square and Epic had hoped, while Steam is very well patronized, more reliable, established, and still growing.

Nobody but Epic and Square knows the terms of the KH exclusivity agreement, but once it runs out it will march happily over to Steam. (Probably at too high of a price, but that's a different story.)

It does give me hope that Final Fantasy 7 came to Steam. It makes me think the Epic deals may not be too long. I don't even mind if it was full price, because I would probably just buy KH 1.5 + 2.5 and wait for the rest to go on sale. KH2 is my favorite game!

I would absolutely dearly love for Kingdom Hearts to come to steam, I bought it on epic and I will buy it again on steam.
I do hope they take away the always online requirement though.
I was surprised seeing ffviir and twewy neo come to steam, so that is encouraging.

I have feeling it might also need Disney, not sure what they have in tie for games, but if it requires Disney it possibly might be them holding it back as well.

I want Kingdom Hearts Union x on Steam.

Disney went for the longest ($) exclusivity package.

I mean if they're hurting for money, this might be good time to add on Steam & GoG for some extra cash flow, but yeah not sure what the deal here for kingdom hearts if it SE issue, or Disney issue.

They aren't hurting for money. They just wanted the option that paid the most.

I would love this! I would buy the entire KH collection in a heartbeat if Square Enix adds it to Steam <3

Crazy someone would clown you for telling the truth, because the fact is that game publishers have to approach Valve to publish on Steam.

That was another reason I want it on Steam instead. The online requirement kind of negates the point of having it on Steam in the first place since I want to play it on the Steam Deck.

Same here! I would pay $60 per game, I like it that much.
