Platforms, consoles and Steam Deck

TROLLHEIM: GNOMES is a Windows game on Steam. The store platform flags are Windows on, Mac off, Linux off. There is no PlayStation or Xbox version in the announcement or on the store page. Valve has not published a Steam Deck compatibility rating.

Consoles

The 14 October 2026 announcement says Steam Early Access. Fireshine's post says the same and links the Steam page. Neither post names PS5, Xbox Series, Switch or a cloud-console build. Search traffic for those names is ahead of the news. If a console port appears, it will be a new post. Until then, plan on a Windows PC and the spec sheet on system requirements.

Controller flags do not rescue a console plan. The store page marks the controller wizard complete and then sets full Xbox, partial Xbox, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Steam Input to off. Keyboard support is not marked missing. Controls is mouse and keyboard, with rebinding disabled in the playtest. A console pad will not pass that block.

Steam Deck

The hardware block on the store page has an empty resolved category for Steam Deck. Empty means Valve has not rated it. It does not mean Verified, and it does not mean Unsupported. Do not buy a Deck to play this test. The playtest cannot rebind keys, AZERTY is already called out as risky, and the GPU floor on the Windows sheet starts around an RTX 2070. A Deck rating, when it exists, will show up on the same store page. Check updates rather than a thumbnail that stamps a badge the studio did not earn.

Mac and Linux are the same story as consoles. Their requirement blocks on the store page are empty. Do not install the Windows build through a compatibility layer and expect the studio to support it. They have not offered those platforms.

What Windows needs

64-bit Windows 10 at minimum, Windows 11 on the recommended line, DirectX 12, 16 GB of RAM minimum, 32 GB if you want the recommended column, 15 GB free, and broadband for the download and for co-op. Solo play is described as working offline after you have the build. Solo and offline splits those cases. The playtest you can request today is the Windows build too. Join the playtest from the Steam client on that PC.

Verdict: Use a Windows PC that meets the sheet. Skip PS5, Xbox and Steam Deck plans until a store flag or a studio post exists. A controller is not a substitute.
