What platforms is Halloween: The Game on?
PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S — all three from September 8, 2026. Everything else in the table below is a no or an open question, and each one has its own page explaining exactly why.
| Platform | Available | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Yes | Yes — a launch platform. The official site links straight to the PlayStation Store, and a physical PS5 Limited Collector's Edition exists alongside the digital versions. |
| Xbox Series X|S | Yes | Yes — a launch platform, with its own purchase link on the official site. Xbox Game Pass is a separate question and the answer there is no. |
| PC (Steam / Epic) | Yes | Yes — same-day on Steam and the Epic Games Store. Steam lists Windows only: there is no macOS and no Linux build. |
| Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 | No | No. No Switch or Switch 2 version has been announced, and the word Nintendo does not appear anywhere on the official site — including on the purchase row, which lists Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Epic and nothing else. |
| PlayStation 4 | No | No. The PlayStation release is PS5 only; no PS4 version is listed or announced. The minimum PC spec — 16 GB RAM, DirectX 12, SSD required — is a fair indicator of why. |
| Xbox Game Pass | No | No. The game is on Xbox Series X|S as a $39.99 purchase; nothing from IllFonic, Gun Interactive or Xbox has announced a Game Pass release. Being on Xbox and being on Game Pass are different things. |
| Steam Deck | Unclear | Not rated yet. Valve's Deck compatibility report for this app returns "Unknown" — the game has not been through the Verified/Playable review. The minimum spec asks for a GTX 1660-class GPU and an SSD, so treat it as untested rather than as either a yes or a no. |
| Crossplay | Unclear | Unknown — and the store listing cannot settle it. None of the 21 official news posts mentions crossplay or cross-progression at all. Steam's category list does not carry the Cross-Platform Multiplayer tag, but that proves nothing here: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, from the same co-publisher, does have crossplay and its Steam listing is untagged too. Check in-game rather than trusting either. |
| Australia | No | Not purchasable on Steam in Australia. Querying the Steam store API with cc=AU returns no listing for this game, while the same query for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre returns a normal A$21.95 listing — so it is this title, not the region. New Zealand is unaffected and can buy it at NZ$60.99. |
Why the console list stops where it does
Halloween: The Game is self-published by IllFonic Publishing with Gun Interactive as co-publisher, which means there is no platform holder steering it toward or away from any particular console. The three it shipped on — PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC (Steam / Epic) — are simply the current-generation set, and the omissions are the previous generation: no PS4, no Xbox One.
Nintendo is the interesting absence, because it is total. The official site’s purchase row lists four destinations and the word Nintendo does not appear anywhere on the site at all — no announcement, no placeholder, no “more platforms to come”. That is a cleaner no than most games give you.
On PC the minimum specification is Windows 11 64-bit, GTX 1660+ / RX 590+ / Arc A770+ (1080p@30fps) and 45 GB available space, SSD/NVMe required — read from the Steam listing rather than from a press release. Two details there are stricter than people expect: Windows 10 is not listed at any tier, and the SSD is a requirement rather than a recommendation.
The three questions the table cannot settle
Crossplayis unknown, and the store listing does not help. The usual shortcut — checking whether Steam’s Cross-Platform Multiplayer category is applied — fails for this publisher’s games: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre has crossplay and its listing is untagged too. The full explanation is here.
Steam Deckhas not been rated. Valve’s compatibility report returns Unknown, which means untested rather than unsupported.
Australia is a different kind of no — the game is on the platforms, it just is not on the Australian storefront. That one is reproducible against the Steam API, with a control title showing the region itself works fine.
