Can I play with my friends?Can my device run it?

Device, store and service are different

Play device: Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2
Store / distribution: Microsoft Store, Steam, PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop
Service: Game Pass, Xbox Play Anywhere, PS Plus, Nintendo Switch Online

A storefront like Steam is not a device, and Game Pass is not a platform. This page keeps those separate.

Where to buy

Steam, Microsoft Store or Game Pass?

On PC, where you buy decides which ecosystem, entitlements and launcher you get.

Steam
Steam purchase, Steam version support and Steam Deck availability.
Steam guide
Microsoft Store / Xbox app
Microsoft ecosystem, Xbox Play Anywhere and Game Pass access.
PC guide
Game Pass
Subscription access on Xbox and PC; plan and cloud availability vary.
Game Pass guide

One Purchase, Xbox and PC

A digital purchase through the Microsoft Store on Xbox or Windows can be played on both with the same Microsoft account, without buying it twice.

A Steam purchase does not grant the Xbox or Microsoft Store version. Xbox Play Anywhere applies to Microsoft Store digital purchases.

Can These Platforms Play Together?

Pick two platforms to see whether crossplay applies, then check the full crossplay guide for setup.

Crossplay support

Yes

Full crossplay guide

Crossplay is supported, but online play still needs each player to meet their own platform's online requirement. Account and friend setup is covered in the crossplay guide.

Save and account

Moving Between Devices?

Pick what you are trying to move. Ownership, hero progress, DLC and cosmetic rewards are owned by different systems.

A Microsoft Store digital purchase can be played on Xbox and Windows PC. A Steam or console store purchase stays in that store.

Check purchase rules

I Bought It But Can't Play

Step 1
Which platform and store was it bought from?
Step 2
Is the Xbox app, Microsoft Store or launcher using the right account?
Step 3
Is the license visible in that store on that account?
Step 4
Still missing? Open online troubleshooting.

A missing purchase is usually an account or store mismatch, not an online problem.

Edition decision

Standard or Deluxe?

Both editions include the base game. Deluxe adds cosmetics and the two expansions.

Standard
- Base game
- 2 base hero skins
Physical edition
No
Deluxe
- Base game
- Soul Cape
- Blub Pet
- 4 additional hero skins
- DLC 1
- DLC 2
Physical edition
Yes

Standard owners can add the Deluxe content later with the Deluxe Upgrade.

Choose where to buy

This page shows what each edition contains, not live prices. Prices vary by region, store and promotion.

Physical or digital

Physical or Digital?

Physical and digital copies are not available in the same editions.

Digital
Standard and Deluxe, from the platform storefront.
Physical
Physical copies are only available for the Deluxe Edition.

Physical availability varies by region and platform. Check the store before assuming a boxed copy exists.

Handheld and compatibility

Steam Deck, Handheld and Linux

Compatibility status is version-sensitive and can change after an update.

Steam Deck
Current status
Playable
Known limitation
On-screen keyboard support may be missing
A game update made the Steam version playable on Steam Deck. Full Steam Deck verification is still being worked on.
Steam Deck help
Linux
Official native support
Not currently listed
Known limitation
Compatibility layers run outside official support
Official system requirements list Windows only. Compatibility layers may still run the game, but that is not native support.

Steam Deck status can change after an update, so it is dated. This page does not claim full Steam Deck verification.

Troubleshooting

Having a Platform Problem?

Pick what is happening, and this router sends you to the page that owns the fix.

Platform issue or game bug?

Expired subscription → platform requirement
Sign-in error code → error code help
Steam Deck keyboard missing → platform compatibility
Crash after a patch → crash or update help

These owners are different, so a platform problem is not always the same as an online or crash problem.
