Digimon Story Time Stranger is the latest entry in the Digimon Story series from Media.Vision and Bandai Namco, released on Steam on October 2, 2025. It is a single-player RPG built around a mystery that crosses the human world and the Digital World, and the core loop is collecting and raising Digimon to build your team. The Steam page recommends a gamepad, and the minimum PC spec is a modest 8 GB of RAM, a GTX 970 class GPU and 27 GB of storage. Post-launch content comes through a Season Pass with three Additional Digimon & Episode Packs, which is bundled in the Deluxe and Ultimate Editions. It has over 16,000 Steam user recommendations. It ranks ninth mainly on price: at $69.99 for the standard edition it is the most expensive game here, and there is no multiplayer, so it is best for existing Digimon fans rather than general monster collectors.
