Closed beta testing before the end of 2026 should not be confused with launch. A test invitation is not a preorder, and the presence of store wishlist pages does not establish an exact release day.
The platform list is broader than the original series' Xbox identity. PlayStation 5 and Steam are first-party-confirmed launch targets, while Xbox Play Anywhere specifically covers participating Xbox console and Windows PC purchases. It should not be read as a promise that one purchase also grants the PlayStation or Steam version.
The safest buying decision is to wait for Undead Labs to publish the exact date, price, editions, regional store pages, and final hardware requirements. Wishlist availability can notify a player about those changes, but it does not settle any of them today.
