Recommended specs: not published yet
As of 12 November 2026, the recommended section on Steam only says the game requires a 64-bit processor and operating system. Chucklefish has not published recommended components, so we are not listing or estimating any. We will add them to the table as soon as they appear on Steam.
Steam Deck and Steam Machine: not rated yet
As of 12 November 2026, Witchbrook has no compatibility rating from Valve for either Steam Deck or Steam Machine. It is not Verified or Playable, simply unrated so far. What each badge means is explained in our guide to Steam Deck Verified.
The only official detail so far is that Steam lists full controller support. How the game will run on Deck will only be clear once Valve rates it. More handheld guides are in our Steam Deck section.
Switch or Switch 2? Two separate versions
The Nintendo eShop has two separate Witchbrook listings, one for Switch and one for Switch 2. Both launch on the same day.
| Detail | Nintendo Switch 2 | Nintendo Switch |
|---|---|---|
| eShop code | BEEPAAN4A | HACPBM8SA |
| Estimated size | 1.2 GB | 1.2 GB |
| Modes | TV, tabletop, handheld | TV, tabletop, handheld |
| Players | 1 per system, online 1–4 | 1 per system, online 1–4 |
| Nintendo note | – | Switch 2 compatibility: Untested, to be tested later |
For the original Switch version, Nintendo says Switch 2 compatibility is untested and will be tested at a later date. The standard Switch Lite note applies too: compatibility and play experience may differ on Switch Lite. Chucklefish has also posted 4K Switch 2 footage on its YouTube channel.
Neither Nintendo nor Chucklefish has said whether you can upgrade the Switch version to Switch 2 or what it would cost, and there are no official performance differences between the two. Before launching the game on the new console, check the latest Switch 2 system update.
Xbox and PS5: what the stores list

- Optimized for Xbox Series X|S,
- 4K Ultra HD,
- 60+ fps and 120 fps,
