Sea of Remnants is planned to launch in 2027 as a free-to-play title with in-game purchases. The 2027 window is the current one. Earlier announcements aimed at 2026: the June 2025 reveal said 2026 for PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android, and a January 2026 announcement repeated a 2026 window for PlayStation 5 and PC. Those have been superseded.

Planned Platforms
The August 2026 development letter sets out the platform plan for the full release. The team frames this as what it currently plans to support rather than a locked list.

PC | Windows via the official Sea of Remnants launcher, Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store |
Console | PlayStation 5, including PlayStation 5 Pro, and Xbox Series X|S |
Mobile | iOS via the App Store and Android via Google Play |
Handheld | ROG Xbox Ally X |
Cloud | Xbox Cloud Gaming |
The PC store listing reports Windows only, because that page covers the PC build. It is not a statement that the other platforms have been dropped.
Languages
Voice-over is planned for English, Japanese and Chinese. Text and subtitles are planned for English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Latin American Spanish, German and French.
