SQUADRON 42

Platforms

Squadron 42 platforms

Checked 2026-10-17

The announced platform is Windows on Steam. A console version has not been announced. That is a narrower sentence than "never".

The official store snapshot reviewed on 17 October 2026 lists Windows. Controller support, community VR tags and historical co-op plans are different claims and do not establish console releases or confirmed launch modes.

What is actually on the record

Checked 2026-10-17. "Not announced" is not the same as a cancellation.

VRNot announcedVR is a user tag, not a store feature

Controller, co-op, and VR are separate questions

Steam lists full controller support, including DualShock and DualSense. That is a PC feature. A DualSense line does not mean a PlayStation 5 version exists.

The store describes a single-player game. Secondary references discuss historical co-op plans, but they do not establish a confirmed co-op launch mode. Do not buy on the assumption that those plans are final.

User tags on the Steam page include VR and 6DOF. Categories do not include a VR flag from the publisher. I am not writing "Squadron 42 supports VR".

Questions I keep getting

Will Squadron 42 be on Xbox?

No console version has been announced as of 17 October 2026. The only true platform field is Windows.

Is there a Mac version?

No. Steam marks mac and linux as false.
