No PS5 release date, version or store listing has been confirmed.

Nintendo Switch

Controller support

Official support status and current player reports are kept separate.

Official status

Mac & Linux

A native build is a different claim from running the Windows build through Proton.

macOS

No native build planned

The developers said in July 2026 that no official macOS build is currently planned, and that launch was Windows PC via Steam.

Native Linux

No version announced

No native Linux release has been announced.

Native Linux and Steam Deck / Proton compatibility are tracked separately. A working Proton launch is not a native Linux release.
