Radiant Silvergun - Steam Trailer
Originally released in arcades in Japan in 1998, and later for the Sega Saturn, Radiant Silvergun initially found cult success in the west due to importers. It eventually got a full worldwide release in 2011 via Xbox Live Arcade, but wasn’t ported to any other platform until it was released on Nintendo Switch in September 2022. As is often the case, that seems to have paved the way for this PC release.
I’m thrilled when old classics like these come to PC, where they can hopefully find a second (or third, or fourth) life and a new audience, and where they can remain playable beyond the average console lifespan. I’m also happy for Treasure, a Japanese studio known for a handful of classics that never sold well, whose last original game was in 2014.
Also, it’s bound to be perfect for Steam Deck. You’ll find theSteam page here.
