This table follows Moon Studios' June 2026 platform announcement. It intentionally does not convert “later” into a guessed year or quarter. Retail placeholders, database dates and unsourced countdowns are not substitutes for a developer announcement.
PS5 launches with the full version
The PS5 edition is scheduled to arrive when the game leaves Steam Early Access in October. That makes it the first console version and places it alongside the PC 1.0 release. The official site currently promotes PS5 wishlisting and the 1.0 announcement trailer was published through PlayStation.
Moon Studios has announced crossplay and cross-save between PC and console at launch. The supplied official post does not explain every account, subscription or transfer requirement. Those implementation details, along with the exact launch day and final PlayStation Store price, remain 待确认.
Xbox is announced, but not dated
Xbox Series X|S appears in the official platform table with “TBD.” It is therefore accurate to say an Xbox version is planned, but inaccurate to place it in the October window. The current game is not available on Xbox simply because a wishlist or platform logo exists.
The research does not contain an announcement for Game Pass. A later Xbox launch does not automatically mean a subscription release. Until Microsoft or Moon Studios confirms such an arrangement, Game Pass status should be described as unannounced.
Nintendo Switch 2 follows later
Nintendo Switch 2 is also named for a future release after PC and PS5. No date, performance target or feature comparison appears in the supplied official material. Claims about resolution, frame rate, cross-save behavior or physical editions are therefore 待确认.
The announcement applies specifically to Switch 2. It does not establish a version for the original Nintendo Switch. Similar naming should not be used to imply support for hardware the developer did not list.
Why older answers may be wrong
Before June 2026, public information often grouped PS5 and Xbox together as consoles planned after Early Access. The new announcement changed that picture: PS5 now has an October launch month, while Xbox remains undated. Guides written before the announcement may be historically accurate but no longer answer the current search intent.
The same problem affects articles that call the game single-player only. Together added online co-op to the Steam version in January 2026, and the 1.0 plan includes persistent multiplayer plus cross-platform features. Always check the article date and the platform it describes.
What console players should do now
PS5 players can use the official site or PlayStation listing to wishlist the game and watch for the exact date and pre-order details. Xbox and Switch 2 players should follow Moon Studios' news channels rather than purchase a PC key expecting it to transfer automatically. A Steam license is not a console license.
If cross-save matters, wait for the account-linking and entitlement documentation before choosing a platform. Cross-save can move progress while still requiring separate game ownership; the supplied announcement does not define purchasing rules. Treat any promise of one purchase covering multiple platforms as unsupported.
Console editions and technical modes
No physical edition, collector's edition or universal console bundle is established by the supplied official announcement. A retailer may create a placeholder before Moon Studios publishes edition details, but that listing should not be used to infer included content. Compare the final platform-store description with any retailer offer before paying.
Performance modes are also unconfirmed. PS5 footage demonstrates the game, not a guaranteed output resolution or frame-rate target. Xbox and Switch 2 performance claims are even more premature because those ports have no release window.
The same standard applies to online requirements. Crossplay is announced, yet subscriptions, account linking, parental controls and supported voice features are not detailed in the research. These should be checked per platform when the final store pages go live.
