Which devices can run Shift At Midnight?
The developer’s release announcement names three ways to play: Steam, Xbox and Xbox PC Game Pass. The Steam version is Windows only, and Valve’s store data marks macOS and Linux as unsupported. That store data also lists nine supported languages for the game, each one marked as having full audio support. The remaining rows are platforms that no official announcement mentions.

The Xbox store listing was last verified on 12 August 2026 against the listing itself, and not re-checked on 10 October 2026. Our system requirements page recorded these labels from it that day: Optimized for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Play Anywhere, Xbox cloud saves, cloud playable with Game Pass Ultimate, and a $9.99 price included with PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
What PC do you need to run it?
Steam publishes a minimum and a recommended tier. The figures below are copied from the Steam store page, which lists a 64-bit processor and operating system as mandatory. Both tiers also list a broadband internet connection.
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10/11 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-10400F or Equivalent | Intel Core i5-10400 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X or Equivalent |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or Equivalent | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6GB) or Equivalent |
| DirectX | Version 11 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 3 GB available space | 3 GB available space |
Between the two tiers, memory goes from 8 GB to 16 GB, the graphics card from a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti to a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti (6GB), and DirectX from Version 11 to Version 12. Two more details from those lists: both tiers ask for the same 3 GB of storage, and the minimum tier accepts Windows 10 or 11 while the recommended tier names Windows 11 only. If your machine sits between them, the system requirements page explains what each tier means in practice. Crashes and launch failures on supported hardware belong on troubleshooting instead.
Does it work on Steam Deck and with a controller?
Valve’s compatibility report for the game, read on 10 October 2026, returns three results: Steam Deck, SteamOS and Steam Machine. Each carries the same category value, 2, and a fourth field, labelled frame, is empty. The report returns a number and a list of test names, not badge wording. We print the number as returned and attach no rating name to it, and the table lists which test names appear under each device.
| Test result name in Valve’s report | Steam Deck | SteamOS | Steam Machine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Default configuration is performant | Listed | — | Listed |
| Interface text is legible | Listed | — | — |
| Game startup functional | — | Listed | — |
| Default controller config not fully functional | Listed | Listed | Listed |
| Controller glyphs do not match the device | Listed | — | Listed |
| Text input does not automatically invoke the keyboard | Listed | Listed | Listed |
Counted by device, the report lists five test names for Steam Deck, three for SteamOS and four for Steam Machine. Two of them appear under all three devices: the default controller configuration entry and the on-screen keyboard entry.
Steam’s store data for the game lists ten categories on 10 October 2026: Single-player, Multi-player, Co-op, Online Co-op, Steam Achievements, Adjustable Text Size, Custom Volume Controls, Stereo Sound, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. None of them is a controller support category, and the separate controller support field is absent. The controls page covers the default bindings.
Is Shift At Midnight on PS5, PS4 or Nintendo Switch?
None has been announced. We re-read all 31 official Steam announcements for the game on 10 October 2026, and none of them mentions PlayStation or Nintendo hardware. The release announcement names only Steam, Xbox and Xbox PC Game Pass. We did not check the PlayStation or Nintendo stores. Steam’s store data names Bun Muen as the developer and Kwalee as the publisher.
Can you play it on a phone, Mac or Linux?
No mobile version has been announced. None of the 31 official Steam announcements up to 10 October 2026 mentions iOS, Android or mobile. We did not check the App Store or Google Play, so we make no claim about what is listed there.
Mac and Linux are also out. Steam marks both as unsupported, and the store page publishes no requirements for either. Valve’s compatibility report is a separate record from that platform list, and it returns results for Steam Deck, SteamOS and Steam Machine, covered above.
Is Shift At Midnight on Game Pass?
Yes at launch. The launch announcement on 22 July 2026 reads “OUT NOW on Steam, Xbox & Game Pass”, and the earlier release-date post names “Xbox PC Gamepass” as well. The Xbox store listing showed the game as included with PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate when it was last verified on 12 August 2026 against that listing. That listing was not re-checked on 10 October 2026.
| On Game Pass at launch | Yes — 22 July 2026 |
|---|---|
| Versions named by the developer | Xbox and Xbox PC Game Pass |
| In the catalogue | Included with PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, last verified 12 August 2026 against the Xbox store listing; not re-checked on 10 October 2026 |
| Xbox price | $9.99, last verified 12 August 2026 against the Xbox store listing; not re-checked on 10 October 2026 |
| Steam price for comparison | $9.99 USD (10 October 2026) |
| Crossplay, per the developer | “Xbox and PC Gamepass players will have crossplay” (10 July 2026); not tested by us |
The last row quotes the 10 July 2026 release-date announcement. The same announcement says “Steam players will only be able to play with other Steam players.” The crossplay page has the full matrix, and multiplayer explains how lobbies work once you are on the same side.
