PC (Windows) via Steam is the only platform at launch. No console versions have been announced. Plan your crew around that if you are playing day one.
Performance tips for co-op
- Effects Quality is the biggest frame-rate cost — lowering it from Medium to Low can recover up to 30% on mid-range GPUs.
- Disable motion blur and camera shake first; raise texture quality only if your frame rate stays stable.
- Native resolution is recommended; the dynamic lighting is part of the horror.
Family Sharing caveats
Family Sharing grants library access but does not share Outpost progress — each Steam account maintains its own save file under %LOCALAPPDATA%\GRAINROT\Saved\SaveGames. Do not expect Family Sharing to act as a shared Outpost.
