A recent ESRB listing has revealed that the onceGoogle Stadia exclusiveSuper Bomberman R Onlinewill soon release on the PC. The game has not been officially announced, but the ESRB website information seems legitimate. The game has been free on Google Stadia, but there is no information on the price for the PC version.
The Google Stadia version ofSuper Bomberman R Onlinecame with a bevy of new features over the originalSuper Bomberman R, including a 64 player last-man-standing online mode, Crowd Play, and more. It will be very interesting to see if the PC version carries over all of those features, especially something like Crowd Play, asCrowd Choice and Crowd Play on Google Stadiais a feature that is important to the service that may not easily transfer over to a standard PC version.
It recently became apparent thatGoogle was shutting down all of its first-party Stadia development studios. So while the service is still alive and running, for the time being, there may be developers that are looking to continue to take their games elsewhere if they see this as writing on the wall that Stadia may not last forever. And even if Stadia continues to last for a long time, putting a game likeSuper Bomberman R Onlineon as many platforms as possible will only help the game.
The ESRB listing should not be a 100% confirmation ofSuper Bomberman R Onlinecoming to PC at this point, but it is pretty close. It definitely makes sense to allow the game some breathing room outside of Google Stadia alone. If theBombermantitle does come to PC, perhaps it will eventually come to home consoles as well, as it would make sense to have the game come to as many platforms as possible.
Super Bomberman R Onlineis available on Google Stadia and may release on PC.
