=== Windows === Square Enix released ''Chrono Trigger'' without an announcement for [[Windows]] via [[Steam (service)|Steam]] on February 27, 2018. This version includes most content from the Nintendo DS port besides the arena mode, as well as the higher resolution graphics from the mobile device releases, support for mouse and keyboard controls, and autosave features, along with additional content such as wallpapers and music.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/27/17058294/chrono-trigger-windows-pc-release-date-trailer-steam |title=Now play one of the best RPGs ever on your PC |first=Allegra |last=Frank |date=February 27, 2018 | access-date = February 27, 2018 |work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180227182740/https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/27/17058294/chrono-trigger-windows-pc-release-date-trailer-steam | archive-date = February 27, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Arevalo |first=Moises |title=Play a RPG for PC low performance |url=https://chgeeks.com/5-juegos-de-rpg-para-pc-pocos-requisitos/ |website=Chgeeks|access-date=July 12, 2021|archive-date=July 12, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210712062608/https://chgeeks.com/5-juegos-de-rpg-para-pc-pocos-requisitos/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The PC port initially received negative reception due to its inferior graphical quality, additional glitches, UI adapted for touchscreens, and failure to properly adapt the control scheme for keyboards and controllers.<ref name="PolygonPCPort">{{cite web |url=https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/27/17059510/chrono-trigger-pc-mobile-port |title=Chrono Trigger fans can't stand its PC port |first=Ben |last=Kuchera |date=February 27, 2018 | access-date = March 2, 2018 |work=[[Polygon (website)|Polygon]] | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180228001815/https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/27/17059510/chrono-trigger-pc-mobile-port | archive-date = February 28, 2018}}</ref><ref name="vg247pc">{{cite web |first=Alex |last=Donaldson |title=Chrono Trigger on PC is a perfect example of how to not re-release a classic game |url=https://www.vg247.com/2018/03/01/chrono-trigger-pc-perfect-example-not-re-release-classic-game/ |website=[[VG247]] |date=March 1, 2018 |access-date=February 1, 2024 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180302014818/https://www.vg247.com/2018/03/01/chrono-trigger-pc-perfect-example-not-re-release-classic-game/ |archive-date=March 2, 2018}}</ref><ref name="ForbesPC">{{cite web |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2018/02/28/the-classic-chrono-trigger-has-been-ported-to-pc-and-its-not-good-at-all/#ad30bf041582 |title=The Classic 'Chrono Trigger' Has Been Ported To PC And It's Not Good At All |first=Ollie |last=Barder |date=February 28, 2018 | access-date = March 2, 2018 |work=[[Forbes]] | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180228202114/https://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2018/02/28/the-classic-chrono-trigger-has-been-ported-to-pc-and-its-not-good-at-all/#ad30bf041582 | archive-date = February 28, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://kotaku.com/oh-no-chrono-trigger-looks-awful-on-pc-1823364933 |title=Oh No, Chrono Trigger Looks Awful On PC |first=Jason |last=Schreier |authorlink=Jason Schreier |date=February 27, 2018 | access-date = March 2, 2018 |work=[[Kotaku]] | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301122117/https://kotaku.com/oh-no-chrono-trigger-looks-awful-on-pc-1823364933 | archive-date = March 1, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://gametyrant.com/news/chrono-trigger-is-now-available-on-the-pc-but-fans-are-not-happy |title=CHRONO TRIGGER Is Now Available On The PC, But Fans Are Not Happy |first=Ramon |last=Hara |date=March 1, 2018 | access-date = March 2, 2018 |work=Game Tyrant | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180302225322/http://gametyrant.com/news/chrono-trigger-is-now-available-on-the-pc-but-fans-are-not-happy | archive-date = March 2, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gamerevolution.com/features/371917-chrono-trigger-pc-big-piece-garbage |title=Chrono Trigger for PC is a Big Piece of Garbage |first=Jason |last=Faulkner |date=February 28, 2018 | access-date = March 2, 2018 |work=[[Game Revolution]] | url-status=live | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180301152803/http://www.gamerevolution.com/features/371917-chrono-trigger-pc-big-piece-garbage | archive-date = March 1, 2018}}</ref> In response, Square Enix provided various UI updates and several other improvements including adding an original graphics option based on the game's original version, fixing glitches introduced, and adding a true 16:9 widescreen presentation for the first time, to address the aforementioned complaints.
