Confirmed: Halloween: The Game releases on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, alongside PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This hub covers what PC players should verify before Advance Access and full release.

• Steam: App ID 3219630
• Epic Games Store: listed alongside Steam in official platform messaging

Digital release: September 8, 2026, with Advance Access for eligible Digital Deluxe pre-orders on September 4, 2026—see /early-access-release-time/.

Steam lists formal minimum and recommended specs. Full breakdown: /pc/system-requirements/.

Highlights:

• Windows 11 64-bit
• SSD / NVMe required (45 GB storage)
• DirectX 12
• Broadband internet (online modes)
• Unreal Engine 5 build with Easy Anti-Cheat

Steam Deck compatibility is not verified as of pre-launch research. Easy Anti-Cheat is listed for the PC build, which is a common Deck risk factor until tested.

Follow the dedicated checklist: /steam-deck/.

Do not claim verified Steam Deck performance, Proton flags, or stable frame rates without hands-on testing after launch.

• 1v4 online multiplayer: /multiplayer/how-multiplayer-works/
• Crossplay status: /multiplayer/crossplay/ — storefront indicates cross-platform play, but full PC ↔ console pairing is launch verification pending
• Offline bots / story: /bots-private-lobbies-offline/ and /single-player/

Avoid pre-launch claims about:

• Exact FPS at each settings preset
• Shader compile stutter or UE5 optimization state
• DLSS / FSR / frame generation support
• Best graphics settings per GPU tier
• Kernel-level anti-cheat side effects beyond Steam’s current notice

Update this hub after Advance Access gameplay on real hardware.
