Frequently Asked Questions

Is Trails Beyond the Horizon multiplayer?

No, Trails Beyond the Horizon is strictly single-player. The entire Trails series has always been focused on single-player narrative experiences with no multiplayer components.

Can I transfer my save from Switch to Switch 2?

No, the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 versions are separate releases with no save transfer functionality. If you want the enhanced Switch 2 version, you'll need to purchase it separately and start over.

Is there a demo available?

Yes, two demos are available. The Story Demo (available on all platforms) covers the prologue with transferable save data to the full game. The Battle Demo (PlayStation 4/5 exclusive) focuses on combat mechanics but does not transfer save data.

Do I need to play previous Trails games?

While Trails Beyond the Horizon is accessible as a standalone title, it's the 13th entry in an interconnected saga spanning over 20 years. The game heavily references events and characters from previous arcs, particularly Trails Through Daybreak and Daybreak II. New players may miss significant context and emotional payoffs.

What platforms have the best performance?

According to early reviews, the Switch 2 version offers excellent handheld performance with variable frame rate and 120Hz support, making it the best portable option. PS5 offers the most consistent performance on TV. The Switch 1 version has longer load times and lower visual quality compared to other platforms.
