Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis is a PC, iOS and Android release with no console version, out now on all three. 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, still true after launch. Any site showing a recommended GPU or RAM figure for Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis is inventing it.
The floor moved, quietly. When the Steam page first went up it listed a dual-core CPU and 4 GB of RAM; by launch the store read quad-core, 8 GB and Intel UHD 600 graphics, with no announcement marking the change. That is still a light release by 2026 standards, alongside a native, notarized Apple-Silicon build, but "almost any computer will run it" is no longer as automatic as it looked a year ago: check the table, not the old articles.
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, which became active with the release. 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 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.
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 launched on the same release date.
FAQ
Is Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis coming to PS5 or Xbox?
Not announced. The game is on 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 quad-core CPU, 8 GB of RAM, Intel UHD 600 graphics and 3 GB of storage. The store raised the floor at some point before launch: it originally listed a dual-core CPU and 4 GB. 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. 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.
