The confirmed platform listings
The confirmed platforms are PC through Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Each has an official listing, making those pages the direct starting points for availability and edition information. The PC Steam listing uses app ID 2828710, which identifies the full game independently of videos and community pages about the older tests. The game’s title can appear in many videos and regional pages, but these listings identify the supported full-product platforms in the collected research.
PlayStation lists a PS5 version and offline single-player, while Xbox lists Series X|S and PC with Play Anywhere. These are platform features attached to the title, rather than a reason to assume every service grants the same licence. Store access, a purchase and a subscription offer are different questions even when they concern the same game. That separation makes a platform comparison useful without importing subscription rights or installation details from a different version of the product listing.
The current release date and the earlier delay
Valor Mortis is scheduled to release on October 13, 2026. The earlier September 24 announcement was changed in a June 11 update, which Gematsu reported with the developer’s explanation. Keeping that sequence in mind resolves the most common disagreement between an older trailer and the current storefronts. The later statement is the one used for current planning, while the earlier announcement remains useful only for understanding the change in schedule.
The October launch announcement continues to use October 13, and the official platform listings support that date. This research was checked on October 11, while the game was still ahead of its full release. It records the announced launch date without substituting a fan-site countdown for a verified global unlock schedule. Release-date confirmation and exact time-zone conversion are separate questions, and only the date has been consistently established across the sources used here.
PS5 and DualSense support
The official PlayStation listing identifies offline single-player and a PS5 version. It also lists vibration and trigger effects for the DualSense controller, with PS5 Pro Enhanced status. The director’s official AMA reply separately confirms support for haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, supporting the controller features shown in the storefront. The agreement on controller features is specific to the named support, rather than a basis for inventing an action-by-action list of feedback effects.
These feature labels describe support, rather than supplying a complete visual-performance table. They do not establish a particular native resolution or show the exact settings used by a base PS5 and a PS5 Pro. For a platform decision, the useful confirmed information is the supported console, the single-player mode and the named controller features. The official features can be compared directly with the other platform listings without adding unmeasured console performance numbers to the purchasing decision.
Xbox Series X|S and Play Anywhere
The official Xbox page lists Valor Mortis for Series X|S and PC, with Xbox Play Anywhere. Xbox Wire’s weekly release schedule also identifies the title with Play Anywhere and an October 13 release. These separate official pages agree on the platform presence without requiring a third-party retailer’s listing to establish it. The agreement covers the title’s listing and release context, giving the Xbox route a clear reference in the same pre-release research snapshot.
The Xbox page additionally identifies the game as single-player and lists Xbox achievements and cloud saves. Those capabilities belong to the Xbox listing and should not be automatically copied into claims about another storefront. In particular, the presence of a PC edition on Xbox does not itself grant a Steam copy or turn the Steam demo into a console demo. These distinctions matter when a guide uses the word PC, because the relevant store and entitlement remain part of the answer even on the same hardware.
Steam’s game listing and player features
The full Steam game is listed under app ID 2828710 and was still awaiting release at the October 11 check. Its announced date is October 13, 2026, and the page provides a wishlist route before availability. This identifies the full product rather than an archived playtest, a fan download or an old public-demo invitation. The product identity and date are both explicit on the listing, making it a useful anchor when comparing older announcements with current availability.
Steam lists single-player, Steam achievements and Steam Cloud among the game’s features. These belong to the PC storefront entry and should not be used to infer a different platform’s trophy list or subscription terms. The listing also supplies the current minimum requirements, making it the relevant place to distinguish game information from community speculation. A feature label confirms that feature on the Steam entry, while detailed support claims and another platform’s entitlements require their own directly relevant references.
The confirmed Game Pass plans
Xbox Wire’s October lineup confirms Valor Mortis for day-one availability on October 13, 2026. It names Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, with supported cloud, Series X|S, handheld and PC access routes. This is a current Microsoft announcement, so it is more useful than an older trailer that mentions Game Pass without identifying the plans. Naming the plans keeps the access question precise and gives the player a current official reference for checking the particular subscription offer.
The official Xbox game listing independently shows forthcoming Ultimate and PC subscription access. That agreement establishes the announced launch offer without treating every Game Pass tier as interchangeable. It also keeps the full-game subscription route separate from buying an edition outright and from the limited PlayStation Plus trial described in the collected reporting. The confirmed announcement supplies a launch inclusion, without promising a permanent catalogue duration or every future content addition as part of that subscription.
A PlayStation Plus trial is a separate offer
The collected October reports describe a ninety-minute PlayStation Plus trial connected with the launch. Beebom, AllThingsHow and GamerSky agree on the duration and distinguish this offer from Xbox’s full-game subscription access. The useful confirmed reporting is the trial announcement, rather than a claim that Valor Mortis has become a full catalogue game for PlayStation subscribers. The duration is the point shared across the reports, while live account entitlement is a separate question from the existence of an announcement.
This trial is also separate from the earlier public Steam demo. The Steam demo was a modified two-level build with its own closing date, whereas the reported PlayStation offer is timed access associated with launch. The available research does not establish live regional entitlement or save-transfer terms, so those details are not used as promises in the purchase comparison. Keeping the access types distinct avoids treating a timed sampler, a withdrawn playable slice and an entire subscription campaign as one interchangeable offer.
The announced Standard Edition prices
The September price announcement sets Standard Edition at $39.99 in US dollars, €39.99 in euros and 149.99 zł in Polish złoty. These are the publisher’s stated launch prices in named currencies. They provide a clear edition comparison, but they are not a rule for converting the US amount into every other country’s checkout price. Using the publisher’s own named currencies avoids treating a retailer’s unrelated reservation amount or shipping estimate as the universal price of the game.
The official gameplay overview announcement repeats those Standard prices as launch approaches. The publisher connects its pricing explanation with the game’s approximately twenty-hour story. A stated launch price and a stated story length describe the offer being presented, rather than confirming a retailer discount, a physical shipping charge or the price of an expansion sold separately. The campaign estimate explains the publisher’s positioning, while the prices themselves remain the specific amounts stated for those Standard launch offers.
