Which Platform Can You Play on Today?
Right now, PC via Steam is the only way to play ArcheAge Chronicles. The Steam release requires Windows, an SSD and roughly 100 GB of free space — see the system requirements page for the full spec table.
PlayStation 5 and Xbox are listed as official platforms by the developer, but neither has a public release window. Historically, console versions of Korean MMORPGs follow the PC launch by several months to a year, but no such statement exists for ArcheAge Chronicles yet — so treat any date you see elsewhere as speculation until XLGAMES publishes one.
