Console support was restated to a mainstream audience at the Future Games Show: Spring show 2026 on March 12, 2026.4455PlatformStatusDetailsPC (Steam)ConfirmedSteam App ID 1774880.

The official FAQ answered the question directly: "We plan on releasing on PC and on next-gen consoles - Xbox Series X and PS5." In June 2025 the team confirmed it again in a community question-and-answer session, and the March 2026 appearance restated it to a much larger audience. A 2022 interview, from the period when the studio was two people, is the source of the older framing that consoles were wanted but could not be promised.7788Controller Support9910101111Full 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 binds a separate left, right and centre attack, has been developed with controller input in mind alongside traditional mouse and keyboard controls. The studio's published default layout is set out in full in the controls article.12121313Cross-Platform Play14141515Cross-play between PC and consoles is confirmed. Asked whether the game would come to PC or console, the developers answered: "Both, PC and console, with crossplay!" That statement firmed up earlier comments that they would "definitely want cross-play" if the game launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, both of which were confirmed in March 2026. Timing is the open question: the game has no release date, and day-one cross-play details have not been announced.16161717The store listing includes a "Cross-Platform Multiplayer" feature tag, consistent with the developers' confirmation.18181919System Requirements20202121The 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.22222323ComponentMinimumRecommendedOSWindows 7 SP1+ (64-bit)Not yet specifiedProcessorIntel 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.25252626Console Performance27272828No 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.29293030Engine and Technology31313232Blight: 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.33333434Network and Multiplayer35353636The game supports 1 to 4 players in co-op PvE. A broadband internet connection is required for online play. The developers have said an offline mode is "currently the plan" for solo players, which is an intention rather than a confirmed feature. The PvE-only design means there is no player-versus-player combat; all multiplayer is cooperative.37373838Content Rating39394040Steam lists Blight: Survival with a mature content warning for frequent violence, gore, and general mature themes.
