11Platforms22Blight: Survival will launch on three platform families. Console support was officially confirmed at the Future Games Show: Spring show 2026 on March 12, 2026.44PlatformStatusDetailsPC (Steam)ConfirmedSteam App ID 1774880. On Steam since 2022. Primary development platformXbox Series X|SConfirmedAnnounced at Future Games Show: Spring show 2026PlayStation 5ConfirmedAnnounced at Future Games Show: Spring show 2026Mac / LinuxNot plannedNo announcements or developer statements suggesting supportNintendo SwitchNot plannedThe game's Unreal Engine 5 requirements make Switch support unlikely66Before the March 2026 confirmation, the developers had described console support as something they wanted but could not promise, since it required establishing partnerships with Xbox and PlayStation. The Future Games Show appearance upgraded both to confirmed platforms.77Controller Support99Full controller support is confirmed. The game is designed to be played with either keyboard and mouse or a gamepad. Both Xbox controllers and PlayStation DualSense controllers are supported. The directional combat system, which uses 5-directional melee attacks, has been developed with controller input in mind alongside traditional mouse and keyboard controls.1212Cross-Platform Play1414Cross-platform play has not been officially confirmed at launch, but the developers have expressed clear intent. When asked about cross-play, the developers stated they would "definitely want cross-play" if the game launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Since both consoles are now confirmed, cross-play is a likely post-launch addition if not available at launch.1616The store listing includes a "Cross-Platform Multiplayer" feature tag. With both consoles confirmed, this points toward cross-play between PC and consoles, though whether it is available at launch or added afterward has not been confirmed and will likely be clarified closer to release.1818System Requirements2020the store listing lists minimum specifications. The developers have stated these are placeholders: "Steam system requirements are definitely subject to change." For a detailed breakdown and analysis, see the System Requirements article.2222ComponentMinimumRecommendedOSWindows 7 SP1+ (64-bit)Windows 10+ (64-bit)ProcessorIntel Core i5-3470 / AMD FX 4350Not yet specifiedMemory4 GB RAMNot yet specifiedGraphicsGTX 670 / Radeon HD 7870 (2 GB VRAM)Not yet specifiedDirectXVersion 11Not yet specifiedStorage20 GBNot yet specifiedNetworkBroadband internet connectionBroadband internet connection2424These minimum specs are surprisingly modest for an Unreal Engine 5 title and likely reflect early placeholder values. An SSD is not listed as required but is recommended for UE5 games to reduce load times and improve texture streaming.2525Console Performance2727No performance targets (resolution, frame rate) have been announced for Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5. Since the game is still in active development and the console announcement is recent, specific console optimization details will likely come closer to launch.2929Engine and Technology3131Blight: Survival runs on Unreal Engine 5. Key technologies used include Quixel Megascans for photorealistic environmental textures, MetaHumans for character creation and customization, and World Partition for managing the large-scale environments of No Man's Land. Co-founder Mads Christensen also highlighted One File Per Actor (OFPA) for collaborative large-map development. For a detailed look at the visual approach, see Art and Visuals.3333Network and Multiplayer3535The game supports 1 to 4 players in co-op PvE. A broadband internet connection is required for online play. An offline mode is confirmed for solo players who want to play without an internet connection. The PvE-only design means there is no player-versus-player combat; all multiplayer is cooperative.3737Content Rating3939Steam lists Blight: Survival with a mature content warning for frequent violence, gore, and general mature themes. The game features dismemberment, visceral combat finishers, and medieval execution devices. An official ESRB or PEGI rating has not been assigned yet.4141Language Support4343the store listing lists 16 supported languages:4545LanguageInterfaceSubtitlesEnglishYesYesFrenchYesYesGermanYesYesJapaneseYesYesKoreanYesYesRussianYesYesSimplified ChineseYesYesTraditional ChineseYesYesSpanish (Spain)YesYesSpanish (Latin America)YesYesPortuguese (Brazil)YesYesItalianYesYesSwedishYesYesPolishYesYesUkrainianYesYesTurkishYesYes46+LanguageInterfaceSubtitlesEnglishYesYesFrenchYesYesGermanYesYesJapaneseYesYesKoreanYesYesRussianYesYesSimplified ChineseYesYesTraditional ChineseYesYesSpanish (Spain)YesYesSpanish (Latin America)YesYesPortuguese (Brazil)YesYesItalianYesYesSwedishYesYesPolishYesYesUkrainianYesYesPortuguese (Portugal)YesYes
