Kingmakers platforms
Kingmakers is a PC game first. It has store pages on Steam and the Epic Games Store and nowhere else. Two consoles have been named as targets by the game director, both after the first Early Access release, and Switch 2 is something he said they would try. The board below keeps each answer next to the words it comes from.
The board
| Question | Status | What the developer or publisher said |
|---|---|---|
| PC (Steam and Epic) | Store page up | The only platform with store pages. Steam lists Windows only and cannot sell the game yet; the official site also links an Epic Games Store page.“This game is not yet available on Steam”Kingmakers Steam store page |
| PlayStation 5 | After first Early Access | Named as a target by the game director, and ruled out for the first Early Access release. No PlayStation Store page exists.“I know we were planning to target xbox and PS 5 but not for the initial EA release.”Paul Fisch on consoles, Steam discussions |
| Xbox | After first Early Access | Still a target as far as the game director knows, not for the first Early Access release, and he called its future unclear. No Microsoft Store listing.“However, I'm unclear on xbox's future. As far as I know we are still targeting xbox, but that may be a discussion we have after the EA launch.”Paul Fisch on consoles, Steam discussions |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Will be tried | The game director said they would try, and did not know whether it would run well enough to be worth porting.“It would be really cool if we could get this to run on the switch 2 as well, and I'm sure we will try, but I don't know for sure if we will be able to get it to run well enough on switch 2 to justify porting.”Paul Fisch on consoles, Steam discussions |
| Steam Deck | Expected, not rated | Playtesters have run it on a Deck and the game director expects the public release to run there. Valve has not rated it, which is normal for an unreleased game.“When there is a public release I'm certain that it will run on steamdeck.”Paul Fisch on Steam Deck, pinned update thread |
| Game Pass | Nothing said | Neither the studio nor tinyBuild has mentioned Game Pass in any announcement, FAQ or developer reply. |
| Mac and Linux | Nothing said | Both store pages list Windows only, and no announcement has addressed Mac or Linux. |
Two console answers, and why both are shown
The studio has described its console plans twice, a couple of years apart, and the two are not worded the same way: the official FAQ tied consoles to the finished PC game, and the game director’s later forum reply names PS5 and Xbox and rules them out only for the first Early Access release. Neither replaces the other until an announcement does, so the board shows the newer one and Kingmakers on consoles puts both side by side, with separate pages for PS5 and Xbox.
