    Battle Royale Super Bomberman R Online is coming free to Switch, PC and PS4/PS5 next week

    May 27

    Super Bomberman R Online was announced a few months ago and baked a bit, but now it's ready for release. Konami revealed this week that the game will be heading to PC, PS4 (it's "PS5 compatible"), and Switch on May 27.


    In case you missed this entire franchise throwback, it's do not the Super Bomberman R standalone game released in 2022. It's the one that released on Stadia late last year. Instead, the "Online" moniker takes it more into spinoff territory, functionally turning it into a 64-player battle royale game.


    Note that this is a free-to-play title, which supports a 100 Rank Season Pass program (which is also being ported to the Stadia version). Seasons will last "three months" (like many games like Fortnite) and will add an exclusive hero as well as other characters and a currency called Bomber Coins. The first bonus is important: Old Snake Bomber from Metal Gear Solid.

    Now, the free-to-play scheme is deliberately very confusing, but the game itself is actually free, so download it and give it a try. The battle royale layer actually works a lot better than you might think, and there's a fair amount of strategy for both macro-game and micro-arena battles.


    If you're looking for the Xbox One and Series X/S edition, keep looking! Konami says this will be confirmed "at a later date". Maybe they're waiting for a crossover.
