Beast of Reincarnation Platforms — PC, PS5, Xbox, Game Pass & Price Guide
Beast of Reincarnation launched on August 4, 2026 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — and it's included with Game Pass from day one. If you're wondering whether it runs on your machine, whether a Switch 2 version exists, or which edition to buy, here's everything verified at launch.
Beast of Reincarnation Platform List
| Platform | Status |
|---|---|
| PC (Steam) | ✅ Available (Windows only) |
| PlayStation 5 | ✅ Available |
| Xbox Series X|S | ✅ Available |
| Game Pass (PC + Console) | ✅ Included from launch |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | ❌ Not announced |
| Nintendo Switch | ❌ Not announced |
| macOS / Linux | ❌ Not available (no build) |
| Steam Deck | ⚠️ Not verified at launch |
Because Beast of Reincarnation is a day-one Game Pass title, Game Pass subscribers on both PC and console get the full game at no extra cost. If you're on the fence about the $59.99 price, Game Pass removes the risk entirely — cancel after a month if it's not for you.
Is Beast of Reincarnation on Game Pass?
Yes — day one. Game Freak's title launched directly into Game Pass on both PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate (console). This is a major part of why the game saw such a fast start: tens of millions of subscribers could play it without buying anything.
Note that Game Pass does not include the Digital Deluxe extras — you get the Standard edition content through the subscription, and the Deluxe cosmetics/currency can be bought as an upgrade add-on if you want them.
Which Platform Should You Play On?
There's no bad version of Beast of Reincarnation at launch — all three platforms run the same build with the same content. The real differences come down to convenience and performance:
- PC (Steam) — best choice if you have a capable DX12 GPU. You get DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4.0 support (added in v1.0.7), so mid-range cards can hit high frame rates. You also get Steam's refund policy, modding potential, and remote play. The catch: no macOS/Linux build and unverified Steam Deck support.
- PS5 — the most consistent console experience, with the DualSense's haptics used in the walker sequences. PS Plus is required for online features, though the game has no mandatory online play.
- Xbox Series X|S — the value pick if you're already on Game Pass Ultimate: you pay nothing extra for the game and get the same content. Xbox's Quick Resume works well for the session-based structure of the game.
Your save file stays on the platform you started on. There's no cross-save sync, so think about where you'll put in the real hours before starting — especially if you're trying the game on Game Pass PC and console.
Game Pass Details and Limits
If you're playing through Game Pass, there are a few things worth knowing:
- PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate both include the game
- Game Pass delivers the Standard edition content — the Deluxe cosmetics, named weapon, and extra Amber are sold separately as an upgrade
- Your Game Pass playtime is tied to an active subscription: if it lapses, the game won't launch until you resubscribe or buy it
- Game Pass saves are cloud-backed (Xbox network), so switching to a purchased copy keeps your progress
Is There a Switch 2 Version?
No Switch 2 version has been announced. This question keeps coming up because of the developer's history with Nintendo platforms, but the official line at launch is clear: the announced platforms are PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S only, and nothing has been said about a later port either way.
If you're holding out for a handheld release, the realistic options right now are Steam Deck (see below) or waiting for an announcement that may never come.
Steam Deck, macOS and Linux Status
- Steam Deck: No official verification status has been published. The game is Windows-only, so expect to fiddle with Proton compatibility layers — community reports at launch are mixed, with the game's DirectX 12 + SSD requirements being the main sticking point.
- macOS / Linux: No builds exist. The Steam listing is Windows-only, and there's no native Mac or Linux version planned that has been announced.
Beast of Reincarnation requires an SSD and DirectX 12. It won't run on older hard-drive-only machines or GPUs without DX12 support, regardless of how powerful the rest of the system is.
System Requirements (PC)
Based on the official Steam listing at launch:
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 64-bit | Windows 11 64-bit |
| Storage | SSD required | SSD required |
| API | DirectX 12 | DirectX 12 |
| GPU | DX12-capable | Mid-range DX12 GPU (DLSS/FSR 4 supported) |
The v1.0.7 patch added DLSS 4.5 and FSR 4.0 support, which materially helps on mid-range GPUs. If you were on the fence about performance, the upscaling options are now much better than at launch.
Standard vs Digital Deluxe — Which Edition to Buy
| Edition | Price | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | $59.99 | Full base game + 30,000 Amber + Brown Shiba Skin (Koo) |
| Digital Deluxe | $69.99 | Standard + 100,000 Amber + 3 additional cosmetics + a named weapon |
The $10 Deluxe upgrade buys you 70,000 extra Amber (more than triple the Standard's currency), a named weapon, and a few cosmetics. If you want to skip early currency grinding and look good from the start, it's a reasonable upsell — but it adds no story content or gameplay expansions, so story-first players are fine with Standard.
There's no cross-save between platforms at launch — PC progress stays on PC, console progress stays on your console. Pick your main platform before you commit hours, especially if you're juggling Game Pass PC + console.
