What time does Crimson Moon release?
The U.S. PlayStation Store gives the clearest official timestamp: September 1 at 17:00 UTC. That converts to 10 a.m. Pacific, noon Central, 1 p.m. Eastern, and 6 p.m. in the United Kingdom.
Steam and ProbablyMonsters confirm September 1 for PC, while Epic currently displays only September 2026 on its store page. Neither PC storefront shows the same exact public timestamp as PS5, and Xbox does not expose a matching launch hour. Players outside PS5 should treat 17:00 UTC as a useful reference, not a guaranteed universal unlock, and check the countdown on the storefront they plan to use.
Which platforms is Crimson Moon on?
Crimson Moon is confirmed for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and the Epic Games Store. It is also included in Pixel Twelve’s Xbox releases for September 1–4 alongside the week’s other new console arrivals.
No PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, macOS, or Linux version is listed. PS5 Pro owners get native support for upgraded PSSR, according to ProbablyMonsters’ PlayStation announcement.
How much does Crimson Moon cost?
The Standard Edition is $19.99 and includes the base game. The Deluxe Edition is $29.99 and adds the Ceremonial Armor Set, the guitar-shaped Axe of the Gods, and access to one post-launch content expansion that is still in development.
ProbablyMonsters has not finalized the expansion’s features or release timing. The PlayStation announcement also confirms a $10 Deluxe Edition Upgrade for players who begin with Standard. Regional prices and retailer timing can differ from the U.S. amounts.
PlayStation buyers receive the Sonai Magistrate Armor Set with either edition. That bonus is described as PlayStation-exclusive and should not be assumed for Xbox or PC.
Can Crimson Moon be played solo or in co-op?
Yes. Every hunt can be completed solo or with one other player online. Co-op is optional rather than mandatory, and the encounter composition and difficulty scale between one-player and two-player runs.
A co-op team shares a communal life pool. A downed partner can be revived, but deaths consume that shared resource and move the whole team closer to a failed hunt. ProbablyMonsters also describes build experimentation, coordinated Weapon Arts, and co-op synergies as part of the two-player layer.
Does Crimson Moon have local co-op or split-screen?
No local co-op or split-screen mode is advertised. Steam lists Online Co-op, PlayStation lists up to two online players, and Xbox lists online co-op for exactly two players. The official listings do not show Shared/Split Screen or couch co-op.
Does Crimson Moon have crossplay or cross-save?
Full cross-platform matchmaking between PS5, Xbox, Steam, and Epic has not been confirmed. Xbox lists Xbox cross-platform multiplayer and Xbox cross-platform co-op, but that wording does not establish a complete PlayStation-PC-Xbox matrix. Steam does not currently apply its Cross-Platform Multiplayer feature label.
No official cross-save or cross-progression policy is published either. Until ProbablyMonsters names the supported account links and platform combinations, friends should plan to buy on the same platform family if playing together is essential.
Is Crimson Moon on Game Pass or PlayStation Plus?
No Game Pass or PlayStation Plus catalog inclusion has been announced. On PS5, PS Plus is required to use online co-op. On Xbox consoles, online multiplayer requires Game Pass Essential, Premium, or Ultimate. Those notices describe access to console multiplayer; they do not mean the game is included with either subscription.
Solo play is available without online co-op. PC players do not need a console subscription for the Steam or Epic versions.
What kind of game is Crimson Moon?
Crimson Moon is a third-person gothic action RPG built around replayable hunts. The player is a Nephilim — a half-human, half-angel warrior — sent to reclaim Gildenarch from demons, undead, vampires, Hellgrowth abominations, and boss encounters with the Dead Gods.
Combat combines melee weapons, supernatural powers, temporary Nephilim abilities, angelic transformations, executions, and build choices. ProbablyMonsters describes a high-risk, high-reward structure where successful runs can introduce new missions, modifiers, and skill achievements. Higher difficulty brings better rewards.
How do hunts and progression work?
Between hunts, players return to the Church. It serves as the hub for permanent upgrades, NPC interactions, and planning at the War Table before entering another district or ward. The official material emphasizes an evolving world and replayable missions without publishing a fixed campaign length.
The Deluxe Edition’s future expansion is separate from the launch loop. ProbablyMonsters says it is in development, but the content, features, and date are not final. Buying Deluxe secures entitlement to that expansion rather than access to a fully detailed roadmap today.
What are the Crimson Moon PC requirements?
Steam and Epic agree on DirectX 12, at least 16 GB of RAM, 32 GB recommended, and 50 GB of storage. However, their current CPU, GPU, and minimum Windows entries are not identical, so PC buyers should use the listing for the storefront they choose.
- Steam minimum: Windows 11, Intel Core i5-8400 or Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1070 or RX 5700, and 50 GB.
- Steam recommended: Windows 11, Intel Core i7-10700K or Ryzen 5 5600X, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3070 or RX 6700 XT, and 50 GB.
- Epic minimum: Windows 10, Intel Core i5-9500 or Ryzen 5 3500X, 16 GB RAM, GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB or RX 5500 XT 8 GB, and 50 GB.
- Epic recommended: Windows 11, Intel Core i7-11700K or Ryzen 7 5700X3D, 32 GB RAM, RTX 3070 8 GB or RX 7700 XT 12 GB, and 50 GB.
Accessibility, languages, and content rating
The PlayStation Store lists 13 accessibility features, including volume controls, basic subtitles, a control-layout option, stick sensitivity and inversion settings, and options to play without button holds, rapid presses, motion controls, touch controls, vibration, or adaptive trigger resistance. Adjustable difficulty is also listed.
Steam and Epic list English audio plus interface or text support for English, French, Italian, German, Latin American Spanish, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese. Xbox rates the game ESRB Mature 17+ for Blood and Intense Violence.
What is still unannounced before launch?
The remaining gaps are a universal launch time across every store, a full crossplay matrix, cross-save support, local co-op, a campaign-length estimate, and the scope and date of the Deluxe expansion. There is also no announced Game Pass or PlayStation Plus catalog release.
Those details should be treated as unknown rather than inferred from storefront labels. Pixel Twelve will update the same page if ProbablyMonsters or a platform holder publishes a definitive policy.
