Mortal Shell 2 Platforms: PS5, Xbox, PC, and Switch 2
Mortal Shell 2 is on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It is not listed for Switch 2 or Game Pass, and Steam rates it Playable on Steam Deck.
Which platforms is Mortal Shell 2 on?
Mortal Shell 2 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. All three launched together on August 20, 2026.
It is a current-generation release only. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch 2 do not appear on any official purchase page.
| Platform | Status | Where it is sold | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Available | PlayStation Store | Also the only platform with a physical collector’s edition |
| Xbox Series X|S | Available | Microsoft Store | Sold as a paid purchase, not a Game Pass title |
| PC (Windows) | Available | Steam | Rated Playable on Steam Deck |
| Steam Deck | Playable | Steam | Runs, with two rough edges worth knowing |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Not listed | — | Nothing official to pre-order or wait for |
| PlayStation 4 / Xbox One | Not listed | — | No last-generation version |
| macOS / Linux | No native build | — | Steam lists Windows only |
Is Mortal Shell 2 on Switch 2?
No. Switch 2 does not appear on the official site’s purchase links or on any storefront listing for the game, and there is no announced version to wait for.
Treat any Switch 2 store page, pre-order link, or “performance test” you find as unrelated to this game until it appears on an official purchase page. A later port is always possible for a game like this, but nothing about one has been put in front of buyers yet.
Is Mortal Shell 2 on Xbox Game Pass?
No. The Xbox store listing sells the game at $49.99 and does not offer it as included with a Game Pass subscription. Game Pass promotion appears in the store’s own navigation on every product page, which is easy to mistake for the game being included — check the buy button, not the sidebar.
Does Mortal Shell 2 run on Steam Deck?
Yes, with caveats. Steam rates it Playable, which is the tier below Verified. Valve’s own test results break down as:
| Deck test result | Outcome | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Default controller layout | Works fully | You do not need to build a custom control scheme |
| Default graphics settings | Performs well | No settings archaeology before you can play |
| In-game button prompts | Do not match Deck buttons | On-screen prompts show the wrong glyphs, so early parry and dodge prompts are easy to misread |
| Interface text | Not fully legible | Some menu and item text is too small on the Deck screen |
The two failures are both readability problems rather than performance ones. Neither stops a run, but a game where mistiming a parry is fatal is a bad place to be guessing which button a prompt means. If you have the option, learn the controls on a larger screen first — the parry timing guide covers what to watch for.
PC system requirements
Steam publishes a minimum specification only. There is no recommended tier to aim at yet.
| Requirement | Minimum |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 or 11 |
| Processor | Intel Core i7-10700K @ 3.8 GHz, or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6 GHz |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB, or AMD Radeon RX 6600 8 GB |
| DirectX | Version 12 |
| Storage | 70 GB, on an SSD |
Two things to note before you buy on PC. The 8 GB of video memory is part of the minimum, not the comfortable target, so 6 GB cards are below the line. And the SSD is listed as required rather than recommended, which usually signals streaming that a mechanical drive cannot keep up with.
Language support
The game ships with 15 interface languages, including French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Ukrainian. Full voice acting is English only — every other language is subtitles and menus.
Frequently asked questions
Is there cross-progression between platforms? Steam lists Steam Cloud, which keeps your save in sync within the PC version. No cross-platform save transfer appears on any of the three store listings, so plan to finish the game where you start it.
Can I play with a controller on PC? Yes. Steam lists full controller support, including DualShock and DualSense pads.
Is there a PS5 Pro or Series S difference? The Xbox listing covers Series X and Series S as a single entry, and neither console storefront breaks out per-model performance. Buy on the console you own and expect the platform default.
Which platform should I buy it on? Whichever you will actually finish it on. The only platform-exclusive item is the physical Revered Edition on PS5, covered on the editions page.
