Is Dimraeth on PS5, Xbox or Switch 2?
Not yet. Dimraeth sells on Steam for Windows only. A PS5 or Xbox version has not been announced. Switch 2 is wanted, but consoles do not take Early Access games, so it has to wait for the full release. Today you can play on a Steam Deck, or on a Windows PC with a PS5 or Xbox controller.
Mac, Linux and cloud streaming are covered on the full Dimraeth platforms board.
Console by console
| Platform | Status | Details | Said by | What would change it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PS5 | Nothing said | No version announced. A developer says consoles do not take Early Access games, so any console release waits for 1.0. | No announcement | A PlayStation Store page or a Mudtek announcement naming PS5. |
| Xbox | Nothing said | No version announced. A developer says consoles do not take Early Access games, so any console release waits for 1.0. | No announcement | A Microsoft Store page or a Mudtek announcement naming Xbox. |
| Switch 2 | After full release | “the consoles don't do early access releases and so we'll have to wait until full release.” | Viakaros, developer | A console announcement from Mudtek, most likely around the full release. |
| Steam Deck | Works, not rated | “Yes you can play on the Steamdeck, PC with controller or Handheld PCs.” | Shindaru, developer | A Verified or Playable badge on the store page. |
The PC version needs Windows 10 or later. Check your hardware against Dimraeth system requirements, and see Dimraeth price for the cost.
Why consoles wait for the full release
“We definitely want to - part of getting the steam deck working was knowing it would work on the switch 2 since it has similar specs, but the consoles don’t do early access releases and so we’ll have to wait until full release.”
The Steam Deck work was done with the Switch 2’s similar hardware in mind. The Early Access rule applies to every console, so expect PS5 and Xbox, if they come, after the full release too. That release has no date yet: track it on the Dimraeth release date page and the Dimraeth roadmap.
Playing with a PS5 or Xbox controller on PC today
Controllers work on the Windows version, and players use both PS5 and Xbox pads. Button layouts and settings are on Dimraeth controls and controller. These are the controller problems players hit most, with the fixes that exist.
- PlayStation pad shows Xbox buttons (A, Y)
“If you turn off Steam Input API it should work - but I am trying to get a patch out right now that will have a settings option where you can manually override the glyphs to xbox or playstation regardless of what the game detects.”
Turn Steam Input off for Dimraeth. Players report that even with the PS layout picked, some menu options still show Xbox buttons.
- PS5 pad: remapped confirm loops a dialogue
Remapping confirm to the X button on a PS5 controller can trap you in a repeating conversation with the blue floating wizard outside the cave. Click the dialogue option with the mouse to get out. This is a known issue. Until it is fixed, keep a mouse in reach or leave confirm on its default button.
- PS5 pad: D-pad closes the inventory
Pressing Left on the D-pad can close the inventory window and sometimes use a charge of whatever tool or item is slotted on the D-pad. Up can do the same. Move around the inventory with the analog stick instead. At the workbench, hold Triangle to open the container window, then double-press and hold L2 or R2 to move items across.
- Xbox pad: A button stops dodging
The A button can stop working for dodging and for waypoints on the map screen while still working in menus and conversations. Open the waystone menu and fast travel until it comes back. There is no fix yet.
- Attacks lock onto one direction
If combos stick to one direction, change the targeting setting. There is an option to attack in the direction you are facing instead of toward the monster the game auto-targeted.
- Game thinks a controller is plugged in when it is not
The game does not use the Steam Input API and reacts to any device with a horizontal and vertical axis. Unplug unusual USB devices (an auto clicker has caused it) and restart the game. This does not fix every case: one player still had the problem after unplugging a 3D mouse.
More controller bugs and their fixes are on Dimraeth bugs and fixes.
Steam Deck, handheld PCs and GeForce Now
Steam Deck and Windows handhelds
The game runs on the Deck and on Windows handhelds; players report it on the ROG Xbox Ally X. The Deck has no Steam compatibility rating yet. Settings, frame rate and the docked-input problem are on Dimraeth on Steam Deck.
GeForce Now
GeForce Now support did not make it in time for Early Access. The team wants to add it, with no date or commitment.
What would change this
- A PlayStation Store page for Dimraeth, or a Mudtek announcement naming PS5.
- A Microsoft Store page, or a Mudtek announcement naming Xbox.
- A Switch 2 announcement from Mudtek, most likely around the full release.
- A patch adding the manual Xbox/PlayStation button-icon setting.
- Dimraeth appearing in the GeForce Now library.
