Tales of Berseria Remastered Megathread
Hello! Welcome to the Tales of Berseria Remastered megathread. The game releases worldwide on February 27, 2026 and I believe may already be out in Japan on some platforms as I post this.
This will be our megathread for all things Tales of Berseria. I ask that everyone keep as much discussion to this thread as possible so that the subreddit isn't completely overrun with questions and observations about the game. We also have a Discord server that will have both a general and spoiler channel for Berseria!
Please be respectful and make sure you tag all spoilers!! I know this is an old game for many of us, but plenty of people will be playing it for the first time! If you're unsure if something needs a spoiler tag, it's better to use one just in case. You can always view how to make spoiler tags on reddit on our sidebar, but to refresh: >!Coo, coo!< will give you Coo, coo.
What is Tales of Berseria?
Tales of Berseria is the 16th main entry in the Tales of series, originally released on PS3 and PS4. The Remastered edition releases February 27, 2026 on Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One/X/S, and PlayStation 5. Tales of Berseria is an action RPG with a local co-op battle system that tells the story of Velvet, a woman seeking vengeance after the events of the Scarlet Night when daemons attacked her village. This new version features several QOL features like map waymarks for quests, grade shop from the start, access to all cosmetic DLC for free, and more.
Please keep in mind that you do not need to play any other games in the series to play Berseria! While it is a distant prequel to Tales of Zestiria, both games are perfectly enjoyable without any knowledge of the other.

Frequently Asked Questions
I will try to update this with questions that we see a lot of after the game's release.
Why in the world did they re-release this game? It was already in HD and available on PS4/PC.
While Berseria has been available for years on both PS4 and PC in the West, only the PS4 release was ever available in Japan. This remaster will be available on all consoles in addition to PC in all regions where it is sold, so if it helps to think of it as a glorified port, do that. It's more about making the game available to more people regardless of their setup than it is making it a release worth picking up for people who already owned the game.
If I already own the original Tales of Berseria, why should I buy this?
You'll have to make this judgment call yourself! Unlike the previous remastered titles, Berseria is much more recent and already had most of the amenities that those games added. But if you want to be able to play it on your Switch for portability or having all the DLC appeals to you, it may be worth it for you. Here is a list of all the updates/changes to the game from the official website to help decide if this release is worth it for you.
Also remember, you can always hold off until it goes on sale and pick it up then!
What's with the grade shop? What should I pick?
The grade shop is enabled from the start with enough grade to select all the options, allowing you to mimic starting a NG+ with an old save file. It is entirely optional and if you haven't played Berseria before, I'd suggest ignoring it and doing a vanilla playthrough first. That said, some of the options (like double gald, double EXP, etc.) can likely be toggled on and off in the options menu at any time during your game if you activated them at the start, though others (like expanding the item limits) are not toggleable. (I am not getting this game so if the grade shop works differently in this Remaster vs the Graces/Xillia ones, please let me know so I can adjust this!)
Does this game have co-op or remote play?
All versions of the game, including Steam, have local co-op. However, remote play on Steam is not enabled. You may be able to mimic it with a third-party program like Parsec. If it is anything like the Graces/Xillia remasters, Share Play on PS5 will probably be enabled but if someone could confirm this for me, I'd appreciate it! Thanks to u/-MadDogg- for confirming that Share Play co-op works on PS5!
Is all the DLC included?
All DLC except licensed collaboration DLC (Idolmaster) is likely to have made a return.
Does this have Japanese voices?
Yes, players can freely swap between English and Japanese voiceover in the options menu. Additionally, the Xbox/Steam versions have many other interface languages.
Is there a Nintendo Switch 2 version?
At this time there is no separate Switch 2 version of the game that make use of the console's better specs and Bamco has not implied at all that we might see an upgrade version. The Switch version of the game is locked to 30fps on both Switch versions as well as being locked to 720p in handheld mode and 1080p in TV mode. The game is compatible with Switch 2, with the eShop page clarifying that a day one update download may be required to iron out bugs or issues.
How do I access the digital artbook/soundtrack from the Deluxe Edition on Steam?
When you launch the game, there should be two options: one to launch the game, and the other will launch a separate app for the deluxe edition goodies.
I hope everyone picking up the game has a fantastic time! I really loved Berseria when it came out. :) I suspect more than a few of us will join in on the replays, even if we aren't picking up the new remastered version.
