Supported platforms
Official listings confirm Windows PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The PlayStation Store labels the PS5 version as PS5 Pro Enhanced. This page concerns native releases, not remote-play workarounds or cloud availability.
Mac and Linux
Steam marks Windows support and does not list native macOS or SteamOS/Linux versions. Compatibility-layer reports are not the same as official support and can change after an operating-system or game update.
Console notes
Buy for the console family shown on the store page; no PS4 or Xbox One native edition is listed. For subscription access, see the separate Game Pass guide because catalog status can change independently of platform support.
Current native versions
| Platform | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Windows PC | Available | Steam and official storefront links |
| PlayStation 5 | Available; PS5 Pro Enhanced | PlayStation Store |
| Xbox Series X|S | Available | Xbox and official storefront links |

A platform listing is not a shared license
Steam, PlayStation and Microsoft purchases belong to their own storefronts. Xbox Play Anywhere applies to the Microsoft ecosystem; it does not automatically grant a Steam or PlayStation copy.
Before buying
Confirm the platform, region, edition, online-account requirements and whether the product is a full game or upgrade. On PC, compare the system requirements as well as the Windows listing.
