66 Notes

88 Storage is 40 GB at both tiers, so the recommended specification does not ask for more disk space than the minimumThe graphics requirement steps up mainly in VRAM, from 6 GB to 8 GB, rather than across a wide generational gapWindows 11 is listed at both tiers, with no Windows 10 entryThe Steam release incorporates Denuvo Anti-tamper and requires agreement to a game-specific end user license agreement

1010 The physical Nintendo Switch 2 release has its own storage requirement of at least 12 GB free space for the first-play download, which is unrelated to the PC figures above. Console format details are on Platforms and Versions.

14+The Steam listing records Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, saving at any time, partial controller support with DualShock and DualSense controllers, a keyboard-only option and a note that a gamepad is recommended. It also carries custom volume controls and two pacing flags: the game is marked playable at your own pace and playable without timed input. Steam trading cards were listed earlier in the pre-release period and are not on the listing as checked in September 2026. Online play requirements are on Online Features.

18+The free demo is a much smaller download than the full game. On Steam it asks for at least 17 GB of free space, and the Microsoft Store version asks for the same. That is well under half the 40 GB the full PC release needs, and it is the figure to budget for if you only want to try the game before December. The demo is covered on Demo.
