Steam and Epic are separate release records

Steam identifies Windows support, with macOS and Linux flags unset. Epic has a public product listing, but its availability should be checked independently. An announced store page is not proof that a game can be downloaded today.

  • Steam: official Windows listing, App ID 1488490.
  • Epic: official Coming Soon listing.
  • No console release date is established by the sources checked here.

What about Steam Deck?

The November 2024 developer Q&A prioritized a stable PC experience and said any Steam Deck verification would be communicated officially. Windows support alone does not establish Proton compatibility or Verified status.

  • Check the current Steam compatibility badge.
  • Do not treat community FPS or power-limit presets as developer requirements.
  • A controller option does not imply support for a console platform.

Pick a store using confirmed information

Compare the actual release state and regional price when both are available. Keep save compatibility, achievements and cross-store transfer as open questions until a current support statement or tested build answers them.
