Mistfall Hunter Platforms: PC vs PS5 vs Xbox
Quick answer: Mistfall Hunter runs on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, all crossplay, all launched July 29, 2026. Xbox and PC are the cheapest entry because the game is on Game Pass. PS5 is the cleanest console version if you already pay for PS Plus. There is no PS4, no Xbox One and no Switch version.

Xbox: the value pickPermalink to this section
Xbox is the version to choose if you want to spend the least. Mistfall Hunter arrived as a day-one Game Pass release on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC, confirmed by Xbox Wire. It is included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass (Standard Edition). Game Pass Core and Standard do not include it.
Two caveats:
- Online still needs a subscription. Game Pass Core or Ultimate is required for console multiplayer even if you “own” the game through Game Pass.
- Game Pass is a rental. If your subscription lapses, access goes with it. Buying the Standard Edition at $24.99 removes that dependency.
Xbox also gets Play Anywhere: buy once and play on console or PC with shared progress, plus cloud streaming. That makes it the only platform family where one purchase covers two devices with one save. The Xbox page has the full breakdown.
PS5: the console-first optionPermalink to this section
PS5 gets the same content, the same crossplay pool and the same price. What it does not get is Game Pass. You pay $24.99 up front and you need PS Plus to play online, because the game is online-only by design.
The PS5 version’s advantage is simplicity: one box, one store, one save. There is no Play Anywhere equivalent, so your PS5 progression stays on PS5. If your squad is split across platforms that is fine — crossplay covers it — but you cannot carry a PS5 save to PC.
Whether the PS5 version has a platinum trophy has not been confirmed in official material. Treat trophy lists on aggregator sites as community data.
[!note] Cross-progression is confirmed for Xbox Play Anywhere. Cross-progression between PS5 and PC/Xbox has not been announced. Do not assume your PS5 hunter transfers.
PC: the flexible pickPermalink to this section
PC gets the game on both Steam and Epic. No subscription is required for online play, which makes the total cost of ownership lower than PS5 over a year if you do not already pay for PS Plus.
PC also has the widest input support and the only realistic path to performance tuning. The trade-off is hardware: the game is a current-gen extraction title with a full open map and player counts, so a low-end laptop will struggle.
Steam Deck status is unverified. There is no confirmed Steam Deck Verified rating in official material, and the game’s online requirements make a smooth handheld experience unlikely. Check the Steam page before buying for Deck.
Does crossplay work everywhere?Permalink to this section
Yes. Bellring and Skystone have confirmed crossplay across PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. You can squad with friends on any platform, and the crossplay page covers how to add friends and whether crossplay can be turned off.
The practical limit is not crossplay but cross-progression, which is narrower. Xbox Play Anywhere shares progress between Xbox and the Microsoft Store PC version. Steam and Epic saves are separate. PS5 is separate.
Which should you buy?Permalink to this section
Buy Xbox Game Pass Ultimate if: you want to try the game cheaply, you own an Xbox, and you may also play on PC. This is the best value by a wide margin.
Buy on PS5 if: your friends are on PlayStation, you already have PS Plus, and you want a single fixed save.
Buy on PC if: you have no console subscription, you want Steam features, or you care about performance and input options.
Wait if: you want a Switch 2 version, a last-gen version, or confirmed Steam Deck support. None of those exist.
