Platforms and Release
April 25, 2026 at 10:51 PM
Trimmed platforms and release page to target length while preserving timeline and platform tables.
Embers of the Uncrowned is launching on PC via Steam, with NEXON as both developer and publisher. The game was revealed on April 23, 2026, and a free playable demo runs during Steam Next Fest from June 15 to June 22, 2026. A full release date has not been announced. This page tracks confirmed platforms, dated milestones, and the open questions about console availability.
Only one platform is confirmed at announcement: PC via Steam. The Steam page lists Windows 11 (64-bit) as the required operating system. There is no listing on any other storefront or console marketplace.
Platform | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
PC (Steam) | Confirmed | Windows 11 64-bit. See System Requirements. |
PlayStation 5 | Not confirmed | No public commitment. |
Xbox Series X|S | Not confirmed | No public commitment. |
Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 | Not confirmed | No statement from the studio. |
Steam Deck | Pending | No verification badge issued yet. |
macOS / Linux | Not supported | Steam page lists Windows only. |
Some early coverage flagged a console version as a 'possibility' for the future, but the studio has made no public commitment. There is no announced PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, or Nintendo release. Until the studio confirms a console version with a dedicated announcement, treat any console talk as speculation. Players who want to play at launch should plan for a Windows 11 PC.
Two dates are firm: the April 23, 2026 reveal and the Steam Next Fest demo from June 15 to June 22, 2026. The full launch window has not been disclosed.
