Original postSquare Enix remastered Chrono Cross specifically because developers at the company were worried it would become "unplayable."
Last year, Square Enix revealed that Chrono Cross would be receiving a highly requested remaster in the form of The Radical Dreamers Edition, which included the Radical Dreamers text adventure that connected Cross to the first game, Chrono Trigger. Remasters are pretty par for the course these days, considering most consoles aren't backwards compatible with older physical discs. That has left some games literally unplayable, and it's because of the potential for Chrono Cross meeting that same fate that some devs at Square Enix wanted a remaster in the first place.
An interview recently took place between Square Enix itself and some of the developers responsible for the remaster, whether they took the time to explain how and why it was made, as spotted by GamesRadar. The remaster was originally planned to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary, which was back in 2019. Obviously it didn't make that date, but it's the thought that counts.

Update Content
・Framerate improvements
・Changes to the growth system for Pip
・Other minor bug fixes(When using the hardware stated in the recommended specs for the Steam version, you can expect the game to run at an average of 60FPS (30FPS maximum outside of battle scenes.) However, due to the rendering system used in the game, it is possible that when using certain graphics cards, some scenes with particularly high load may not run at 60FPS. The cards we have observed this occurring with are in the AMD Radeon RX 6000 series.)
Details about the update have been posted on the official website and the support page.
