After a year of tech issues, Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition is finally getting a performance patch.
This is great news for fans of the classic Square JRPG, which was previously stranded on the original Playstation for two decades before making its way to PC last year.

Here are some key points to consider regarding the performance patch for Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers:
- The patch will bring "frame rate improvements, changes to the growth system for Pip, and fixes for other bugs."
- The patch is set to be released later this month, and while patch notes are not yet available, it is hoped that it will be substantial enough to fix the majority of technical problems.
- This is not the first time Square Enix has released a patch for one of its ports, as the PC version of Chrono Trigger had to wait four years before receiving a much-needed patch.
- Despite the technical issues, Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers was still praised for its colorful setting, cast of characters, stunning music, and intriguing parallel worlds.
- The game also includes new HD character models, a few accessibility options, a remastered OST, and a fast-forward option.
- The game is available on Steam for £16/€20/$20.
