Last Remnant activation hiccup fixed

Euro copies cleared on Steam.

Square Enix and Valve have fixed the Steam activation problem preventing The Last Remnant from being installed and played. Even our copy now works - hooray!

Purchasers of the Japanese role-playing game, released last Friday, had been told installation was not possible until the game launched on Steam. That day, however, doesn't arrive until 9th April.

The Last Remnant still cannot be purchased on Steam, but retailer-bought copies can be activated now without incident.

The PC version of The Last Remnant arrives four months after Xbox 360 launch and adds a choice of Japanese or English voice-overs, improved character animations and the option for multiple leaders to form unions, whatever that means.

Welcome changes, but probably too timid to impact the middle-of-the-road console reception. Head over to our review of The Last Remnant to find out why.
