Supported Platforms at Launch
Hearth and Hamlet launched through Steam for two desktop platform families:
| Platform | Official status | Storefront |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit | Supported | Steam |
| Ubuntu 20.04 or newer | Supported | Steam |
| SteamOS | Supported | Steam |

These statuses reflect the official listing on August 20, 2026. An unlisted platform may be considered later, so treat this page as a dated compatibility snapshot rather than a permanent promise.
Windows System Requirements
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows 10, 64-bit | Windows 11, 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i3 3.2 GHz or AMD equivalent | Intel Core i5-2400 3.1 GHz or AMD equivalent |
| Memory | 8 GB RAM | 8 GB RAM |
| Graphics | GeForce GTX 650 2 GB or Radeon HD 7770 2 GB | GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB or Radeon R7 260X 2 GB |
| DirectX | Version 11 | Version 11 |
| Storage | 1 GB available | 1 GB available |
A compatible operating system gets you to the door; the processor, memory, graphics card, and storage decide whether the machine can walk through it comfortably. Compare the full row set instead of checking RAM alone, especially on older integrated graphics.
Linux, SteamOS, and Steam Deck
The released game lists native SteamOS and Linux support. Its official Linux baseline names Ubuntu 20.04 or newer and uses the same broad CPU, memory, graphics, and storage tiers shown for Windows.
Steam Deck has two encouraging compatibility signals. SteamOS is an officially supported operating system, and an official patch added UI scaling that was described as useful for Deck screens. Those signals do not establish a Steam Deck Verified badge, so check the live compatibility badge in your Steam client before relying on certification.
Some older discussion posts report crashes on Linux and Steam Deck during the demo period. They describe a previous build and should not be treated as a current full-release verdict. Keep the game and SteamOS updated, then test your own controls, text size, and suspend or resume behavior during Steam's refund window if Deck use is essential.
Console, Mobile, and macOS Status
No native macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, Android, or iOS edition appears in the current official listing. There is also no announced release date for any of those platforms in the checked official sources.
Remote-play or compatibility-layer experiments do not create an officially supported port. They can also add input, performance, or save-sync problems that the listed system requirements do not cover.
Online and Offline Expectations
The store identifies Hearth and Hamlet as a single-player game and does not list online multiplayer, cooperative play, or competitive features. It also does not state a formal always-online requirement.
That leaves a careful practical distinction: the game has no advertised multiplayer dependency, while the public listing does not guarantee that every launch, achievement, cloud-save, or storefront function works without a connection. For travel, launch it once while online and test Steam's Offline Mode on the same device before depending on it.
