Choose a platform by access, not by logo
Release timing is only part of the decision. Purchase model, cross-device access and the information still missing can change which version fits you.

02 / Fast decisions
Start with the way you want to play
We use the available information to match each platform with a type of player. This is a decision guide, not a universal ranking.
PlayStation 5
PS5 has the clearest published console-mode information. PS5 Pro adds a 40fps Balanced option that requires a 120Hz display.
See PlayStation modesXbox Play Anywhere
A qualifying digital Xbox purchase is the confirmed route for playing across Xbox console and Xbox on PC with shared progress.
Understand the entitlementDeck and cloud
Steam Deck support and GeForce NOW are announced, but neither statement is a measured-performance guarantee for your setup.
Check the remaining limits03 / Xbox access
Xbox Play Anywhere is not Game Pass
The names appear together in Xbox searches, but they answer two different buying questions.
Available
Xbox Play Anywhere
Xbox Play Anywhere is confirmed at launch for a qualifying digital Xbox purchase, with saves, add-ons and achievements carried between Xbox console and Xbox on PC.
- It is attached to a qualifying digital purchase.
- It covers Xbox console and Xbox on PC access.
- It carries saves, add-ons and achievements.
Purchase required
Game Pass
The Xbox store checked on October 19, 2026 requires a game purchase. Its cloud-play note names eligible Game Pass plans for cloud access, but does not list the game as included with Game Pass.
- Play Anywhere does not place a game in a subscription.
- The Xbox store still requires a game purchase.
- Eligible Game Pass plans can provide cloud access to a purchased copy; that is not catalog inclusion.
04 / Portable and cloud play
Steam Deck, GeForce NOW and Mac support
Store availability tells us the option exists. Measured frame rate, battery life, queue time and regional availability answer whether it works well for a particular player.
The PC release is available; performance varies
The Steam version is available, but a Valve compatibility badge and measured handheld performance are separate questions. We would not turn desktop GPU targets into an expected Deck frame rate.
Cloud support is a separate access route
A supported store copy, connected account, suitable service plan and regional availability still matter. It is not a Game Pass entitlement.
The release comes later in 2026
Steam and Mac App Store plans are announced, but there is no exact launch day or final Mac hardware chart yet.
05 / No version announced
Nintendo Switch 2 has no confirmed release
No Nintendo Switch 2 version has been announced. Hardware comparisons are not evidence that a port is planned. Retail placeholders, hardware comparisons and another Remedy game on Nintendo hardware are not enough for us to call this version real.
