What the listing leaves out
Three things are still open if you are deciding whether to wishlist. Squadron 42 includes Steam Achievements, and the achievement names have not been announced. The story is billed as an all-star cast, and no cast names have been announced.
The third open item is the day. Q2 2027 does not give you a calendar date. Windows is supported. macOS is not supported. Linux is not supported. The dates below are the delay into 2027, The Oath on 10 October 2026, and the Q2 2027 window.
A macOS or Linux version has not been announced. Windows is the system you can plan for today.
