Last updated

THE DEAD WE KNEW is a PC game sold on Steam. That is the entire platform lineup today: no PlayStation store page, no Xbox store page, and no console announcement from the developer. This section tracks where the game runs, what hardware it needs, and any platform news that actually happens.

Guides in this section

  • Steam edition — what the store page includes, from the 60 GB install to achievements and DLC pages.
  • Xbox status — why "The Dead We Knew Xbox" is such a common search, and what would have to happen for it to be real.
  • PS5 status — the same, for PlayStation, plus how to spot the social-media confusion that keeps this rumor alive.
  • Controller support — what Steam's "partial controller support" tag means for day-one play.

Why the console question keeps coming up

Search data tells the story: "the dead we knew xbox" and "the dead we knew ps5" are among the most common searches around this game. That is what happens when a third-person zombie survival game with console-friendly looks launches PC-only — console players want in, and rumor posts fill the gap. The developer's channels are the only source that matters here; if a console version is ever announced, this hub updates the same day.

Playing on PC: the 60-second check

The official minimum spec is a Core i5-9400F, Radeon RX 580, 12 GB RAM and a 60 GB install on 64-bit Windows 10. If your machine is anywhere near that line, read the full system requirements breakdown before buying — and remember Steam's two-hour refund window is your safety net.
