Platforms & System Requirements

Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis is a PC, iOS and Android release with no console version. On PC it ships through Steam and supports both Windows and macOS. That is the complete platform list, and the absence of consoles is worth stating plainly because it is the most common platform question about this game.

⚠️ The recommended column is genuinely empty. Steam's recommended requirements field contains nothing but a 64-bit reminder. Any site showing a recommended GPU or RAM figure for Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis is inventing it. We will fill this in when Ironhide or the store publishes something.

What the minimum spec actually tells you. A dual-core CPU and 4 GB of RAM places this far below the typical 2026 release. Alongside a native, notarized Apple-Silicon build, the practical answer to "can my machine run this?" is that almost any computer from the last several years will. That is more useful than the table, so we say it directly.

Store Features

Steam lists the following for the game: single-player, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, adjustable difficulty, a mouse-only option, custom volume controls, partial controller support, and Family Sharing (excluded while unreleased). There is no Steam Deck Verified or Playable rating yet, and a partial controller rating is not the same as full gamepad support. Pricing on Steam is covered separately on the price and pre-order page.

Languages

The game ships with 10 supported languages: English (with full audio), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish (Latin America) and Traditional Chinese. The wide Chinese support is notable given Ironhide runs an official Bilibili channel.

Content Ratings

Published ratings are DEJUS 6 in Brazil, USG 6 in Germany and IGRS 13 in Taiwan. These will be joined by further regional ratings closer to launch.

No Console Version, And Why It Matters

Kingdom Rush has appeared on consoles before. Kingdom Rush: Frontiers reached the Nintendo Switch, and the original game has Xbox releases. That history is exactly why the question keeps coming up, and exactly why the honest answer needs to be explicit: nothing about a console version of Genesis has been announced. There is no rated listing, no store page and no statement. Every platform the game does support shares the same release date.

FAQ

Is Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis coming to PS5 or Xbox?

Not announced. The game is scheduled for PC, iOS and Android only. The full FAQ covers the rest of the platform questions.

Is there a Nintendo Switch version?

No. Despite earlier Kingdom Rush games being ported to Switch, no Switch version of Genesis has been announced.

Does it run on Mac?

Yes. The Steam version supports macOS, with a native Apple-Silicon build that is notarized. Intel Macs are not explicitly listed.

Is there a Linux version?

No. Steam lists Windows and macOS only.

What are the minimum PC specs?

Windows 10, a dual-core CPU, 4 GB of RAM and a 64-bit system. Recommended specs have not been published.

Is it Steam Deck compatible?

Unknown. The store shows partial controller support but no Steam Deck rating, so we cannot claim Verified or Playable.

Can I play it on PC with an Android emulator?

You can, although you do not need to: the Steam version is native and arrives the same day. Running the Android build in an emulator is a separate route for people who want that build on a desktop, and the Android emulator guide covers three emulators and the full setup.
