Platform Summary

PlayStation 5 receives a native next-gen version targeting 60fps at dynamic 4K based on Asobo's typical PS5 optimization patterns. Xbox Series X|S supports Quick Resume, Xbox Play Anywhere cross-save with PC, and day-one Xbox Game Pass inclusion. PC releases on Steam and Epic Games Store with expected full key rebinding support.

No PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch versions have been announced. Resonance is exclusive to current-generation platforms and PC, allowing Asobo to focus on ray-traced environments, detailed character models, and the combat-puzzle systems demonstrated in preview chapters 4 and 5.

Detailed platform comparisons and date confirmation appear on our release date and platforms page. Game Pass specifics including cloud streaming and PC integration are on the Xbox Game Pass page.

Pre-Order and Editions

Pre-ordering granted the free Heritage Pack: Hero's Blade, Alec's Pendant, and a 30+ page in-game artbook. Hero's Blade is not required for trophies. Details stay on the Heritage Pack page.

The pack was a launch-window bonus. Game Pass access to the campaign does not automatically include it.

System Requirements

Official Steam requirements: Windows 10/11 64-bit, 16 GB RAM, DirectX 12, 75 GB SSD (HDD is not supported). Minimum for 1080p Low ~30 FPS is Ryzen 3 3100 or Core i3-12100 and RX 5500 XT / GTX 1060 (6 GB). Recommended for 1080p Ultra 60 FPS is Ryzen 5 5600X or Core i5-12400F and RX 6700 XT / RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB). GPU needs DX12.1 and Shader Model 6.6.

These replace the old Requiem-based guesses. Practical presets and frame-cap advice live on the PC optimization page. Keyboard binds: PC controls.

Choosing Your Platform

PlayStation 5 suits players wanting DualSense haptic feedback during combat documented on our PS5 controls page. Xbox Series X|S suits Game Pass subscribers and Xbox Play Anywhere cross-save users per our Game Pass page. PC suits players wanting mouse-driven grappling hook aiming and full key rebinding from our PC controls page.

All platforms deliver identical campaign content — dual timeline story, seven missable swords, Minoan Sphere puzzles, and 15–20 hour completion. Choose based on subscription access, controller preference, and whether Heritage Pack pre-order bonuses from our pre-order page matter for your collection goals.

Whichever platform you choose, begin with our controls hub and parry system guide before August 27 to maximize launch-day readiness for Sophia's Minotaur's Island expedition.
