Where to download Beyond These Stars
Checked 19 October 2026: Beyond These Stars is available for Windows PC through Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store, and through PC Game Pass. The Xbox-branded store page lists “Play with PC”; it is not evidence of an Xbox console version. The launch announcement lists PC channels only. No Xbox Series X|S, PS5 or Switch console edition is announced in these sources. Steam reports mac: false and linux: false.
| Store | Status | What I confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Steam (Windows) | On sale | $29.99 list, −20% to $23.99 in the US API. Demo app 2546270. Cloud, achievements, cards, family sharing on the store page. |
| GOG | On sale | Listed, −20%, offer end shown as 30/10/2026. English plus 14 languages. |
| Epic Games Store | On sale | City Builder / Exploration listing. Achievements, cloud saves, single player. 13 screenshots and a 58-second clip on the page. |
| Microsoft Store / Xbox PC listing | Windows PC | Xbox page shows $29.99, “Play with PC” and PC/Ultimate subscription options. Xbox achievements and cloud saves do not imply console support. |
| PC Game Pass | Included | Launch PR names PC Game Pass. Xbox subscription line says PC only · Ultimate. See the Game Pass page for the wording. |
| PS5 | Not announced | Absent from the launch platform list. I am not claiming it will never ship. |
| Xbox Series X|S console | Not announced | The Xbox-branded product page supports PC, not Xbox consoles. |
| Switch / Switch 2 | Not announced | Not in the publisher’s launch platform list. A Strange Transmitter guide is not a console-port announcement. |
| Mac native | No | Steam platforms.mac is false. Proton or Deck reports are player experience, not an official Mac port. |
Price, without inventing a regional number
The publisher’s launch note lists $29.99, £24.99, €29.99 and ¥2,980, with a two-week 20% launch discount. Steam’s US API on 19 October 2026 matched the dollar side: 2999 cents down to 2399. GOG showed a regional sale ending 30 October 2026; I am not copying the regional coin amount because the currency label was not explicit in the capture. A Chinese yuan price from older notes was not rechecked, so it is not in this table.
How I would buy it
- If you already subscribe to PC Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate, check the PC listing before buying a separate copy. Details.
- If you want the free demo first, it is a separate Steam app and its save does not carry into 1.0. Demo page.
- Check the Windows spec before a laptop purchase. Minimum is a GTX 960 / RX 570 class card and 8 GB RAM. Requirements.
- Bundles on Steam include Hooded Horse Builder (this game, Sandustry, Blacksmith Master) and a larger publisher bundle. Contents can change; read the Steam bundle page that day.
