The bazaar is opening its gates to a whole new audience. Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar arrives on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S tomorrow, May 28, bringing Marvelous and XSEED's cosy farming-and-market sim to PlayStation and Xbox players for the first time.

Originally released on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 and PC last August, this is the full-fat version of the game - the console editions fold in every post-launch update that has landed since.

Restore the grandest market in the world

Grand Bazaar is a remake of the 2010 Nintendo DS title released in the West as Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar, and it leans hard on that hook. You settle in Zephyr Town, home to a once-legendary market that has fallen on hard times - these days it has more tumbleweeds than customers. Your job is to raise animals, harvest crops and craft delicacies, then sell your wares from your own stall at the weekly bazaar to draw the crowds back and restore the town to its former glory.

Bigger, prettier and fully voiced

The remake rebuilds the original in every direction: a larger, more lively world with new visuals, new characters and an expanded story. The standout addition is full character voice acting in story events - a first for the long-running series.

On PS5 and Xbox, the standard edition runs $49.99. A Digital Deluxe Edition adds the 'Trunk of Transformation' cosmetic DLC for $59.99, while a Super Digital Deluxe Edition rolls in a digital art book and soundtrack for $69.99. A physical PS5 release is also available for $49.99, sold exclusively through Amazon.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on May 28.
