From the original to the expanded version
The original four main female leads were Shirahane, Ao, Ou, and Tsumugi. RB promoted Miki and Shizuhisa to the main heroines and added a new character, Shiki Kamiyama. Additionally, Kai Kato's route was added, expanding the daily scenes of the companions. The original four routes and the RB's seven main female leads plus the sea route should be understood separately.
System and music
RB strengthened table tennis as a doubles event, added a new opening theme title, 'Astaroa,' and songs from the show; The ending "Expand Your Pocket" version uses Sea, you again. The addition of new characters and music together changes the scope of the expanded version's content.
Home consoles and regular versions
In addition to standalone RB software, Switch also provides content with RB mode added to the original Summer Pockets. The PS4 version was released in 2022. The PC Standard Edition on September 27, 2024, was a repackaging of RB, adding Windows 11 compatibility and accessories, so this date cannot be labeled as the RB initial release date.
The language of Steam
Steam RB, released in June 2025, will include Japanese, English, and Chinese Simplified text, with Japanese audio, and the digital manual will support touchscreen input. The language, upgrade methods, and accessories on different platforms need to be checked item by item; they cannot be applied solely based on RB names.
Switch RB archive and replay
Nintendo Switch RB offers up to 200 save files. Players can jump to the read selection point, select messages in the backlog review, and also return early from the loading point; RECORD: Saves records of actions taken that have been completed.
Switch RB display and voice settings
The Switch version of RB allows you to adjust the color tone of the console's touchscreen, set voice volume for different characters, and change the auto-read wait time and option display positions. Auto mode and video playback can turn off the host's automatic sleep mode; The CG you have already seen and the music you have heard are replayed and replayed in the GALLERY and MUSIC respectively.
Save handling in Switch add-on mode
The original Switch game's RB add-on mode retains the original save files, but does not carry over progress into RB; RB requires starting from the first run. The RB title menu can switch back to the original version and continue playing.
Conditions for Switch add-on mode
Additional mode requires original packaging or downloadable products, with about 2.3GB of space for DLC and 64MB reserved for RB archives. Before purchasing, you must update the original version to version 1.0.2 or above; the RB entry will only appear on the third page of the title menu; after purchasing and downloading, you can switch titles from here.
