Quick answer: The Wolf Among Us Remastered launches on PC (Steam) on October 29, 2026 with very modest system requirements. Minimum: Windows 10, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 or AMD Phenom II X4 910, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 470 or AMD HD 5870 at 1080p / 30 FPS. Recommended: Windows 11, Intel Core i3-8100 or Ryzen 3 2300X, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or AMD RX 6400 at 1080p / 60 FPS. Steam has not yet published an official Steam Deck Verified/Playable/Unsupported rating for the game (Valve typically rates titles within a week of launch). Switch version is delayed past October 29 per Telltale’s announcement; the October 29 date applies to Steam (Windows), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Source: The Wolf Among Us Remastered on Steam, appid 3884860, published by Telltale Games. The Steam store page lists the requirements as “Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system” and the OS/Processor/Memory/Graphics lines above verbatim.

What those requirements mean for your hardware

The Wolf Among Us Remastered’s minimum specs are unusually low for a 2026 release: the GeForce GTX 470 launched in 2010, and the Core 2 Quad Q6600 is from 2007. the Telltale remaster is a narrative adventure, not a high-action game, so it leans on a similar performance envelope to the Steam Deck Verified-rated Telltale originals (Batman, Tales from the Borderland, Game of Thrones). If your PC can run a Telltale game from 2016, it can run The Wolf Among Us Remastered.

The recommended spec targets a locked 60 FPS at 1080p on a GTX 1050 Ti or RX 6400, both of which are mid-range cards from the late 2010s. Anything modern (RTX 3050, RX 6600, Arc A580, Apple M-series) will run the game well above 60 FPS at 1080p and will easily handle 1440p. 4K is also achievable on current mid-range hardware because the source art is remastered cel-shading, not pre-rendered 3D.

The 8 GB RAM floor in both minimum and recommended spec is consistent with Telltale’s other recent releases. The game does not appear to be memory-bound beyond 8 GB, so 16 GB systems don’t gain anything meaningful.

Steam Deck status: not yet rated by Valve

Valve has not published a Steam Deck Verified, Playable, or Unsupported badge for The Wolf Among Us Remastered at the time of writing. Valve usually rates titles within roughly a week of launch (their reviews run on submitted hardware kits and the Steam Deck OLED’s automatic system checks). The game has full controller support per the Steam categories list, and the spec weight is in line with Telltale’s previously Steam Deck Verified catalog, so a Verified rating is the most likely outcome, but that’s a prediction, not a confirmation.

ProtonDB has no reports for appid 3884860 yet (the title only entered the Coming Soon page recently). Check protondb.com/app/3884860 after launch for community Linux/Proton ratings.

The Steam Cloud and Family Sharing tags mean cloud saves carry between your devices, and up to five Steam family members can share a single copy. There is no online co-op or shared-world component, so the game is fully offline once installed.

What’s still officially unconfirmed

  • Steam price. The store page shows Coming Soon with no published price. The original 2013-14 Wolf Among Us episodes ran as individual episodes at $4.99 each, and the Season Pass was $24.99. Remaster pricing is expected to be in that range or slightly higher; we’ll update this guide when the price lands.
  • Switch status. Per Telltale’s October 16 announcement via Gematsu and other outlets, the Switch version is delayed past October 29, 2026. The October 29 date applies to Steam (Windows), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. There is no new Switch release date as of this writing.
  • Switch 2 status. No Switch 2 SKU has been announced.
  • File size and preload time. The Steam store does not yet list an installation size or preload window. We’ll add these once Telltale/Steam publishes them.
  • Steam Deck Verified badge. Valve has not published a rating yet. Most likely outcome is Verified within a week of launch, based on the spec envelope and Telltale’s history, but that’s not a guarantee.
  • Cloud saves and cross-progression between PC and console. Steam Cloud saves carry between Steam devices. A separate cross-progression flow to PS5 or Xbox via Telltale account login has not been announced.

From the Steam store page and the Telltale announcement, three structural things are worth flagging for launch-day planning. First, the 8 GB RAM and GTX 470 class minimum spec means that any PC shipped in the last decade will run this game easily, and the recommended spec targets the late-2010s mid-range that Steam Deck owners are likely already running Telltale originals on. Second, the absence of an official Switch and Switch 2 version on October 29 is a notable gap: Telltale’s Switch releases have been regular since 2017, and the delay leaves the Nintendo audience without a launch-week release. Third, the Steam Cloud and Family Sharing tags combined with the Single-player + Full Controller Support categories show that Telltale is treating this as a classic narrative remaster rather than a reworked, networked edition: no online co-op, no seasonal model, no shared-world integration. The likely audience is original Telltale fans who already own the 2013-14 game on Steam and want the remastered visuals and the new Noir Mode, plus a new generation discovering the Bigby Wolf story without buying the 11-year-old original.
