Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy Resonance Launch Notes
27 August 2026, three platforms, day-one Game Pass.
Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy launched worldwide on 27 August 2026. Focus Entertainment and Asobo Studio dated it at the Xbox Games Showcase in June, after a Summer Game Fest 2025 reveal. This page is the launch brief: where it is, what it costs, and what to open on this wiki after the title screen.
Platforms and price
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S (also Xbox Cloud Gaming / Game Pass)
- PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store
Street price at launch: $49.99 on PC, $59.99 on consoles. Day-one Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Xbox Play Anywhere cross-saves between Xbox consoles and the Microsoft PC app. Steam and Epic saves do not ride that pipe.
Steam features: single-player, achievements (36), trading cards, Steam Cloud, HDR, full controller support. Steam Deck compatibility: Playable. Age ratings are mature for violence.
What you are installing
A 14-chapter single-player campaign about Sophia on Minotaur Island. Melee, light puzzles, dual timeline, no rats as a verb, no multiplayer. Official FAQ length was about 20 hours; review clocks sat 11–15 for story. Install size about 75 GB on an SSD. Specs are on system requirements.
You do not need Innocence or Requiem. You do need a willingness to parry. If that is in doubt, watch the gameplay trailer on the guides hub or read the review roundup.
First session after install
- Pick a difficulty you can change later.
- Bind the five combat inputs on controls.
- Play Blood Ties and Felons with the beginner guide nearby.
- Do not spend Resonance Points until you have fought a real pack. Then use skills.
- If you own the pre-order extras, confirm the Heritage Pack items in the menu.
Storefronts and support
Steam app 2713000. Official site on Focus Entertainment. Support: support.focus-entmt.com and support@focusent.com. All of those links are listed again on official links. This wiki is unofficial.
A physical Collector Box was offered in Europe with deliveries scheduled after launch (Focus said end of October in the launch Steam news). That box is merchandise, not a gameplay patch.
How we will treat patches
If Asobo posts numbered patch notes that change collectables, stagger, or PC presets, they belong on this hub as a new row. Until then, launch day is the ruleset used by the walkthrough and trophies pages.
Welcome to the island. Look for the light. Spend points on purpose.
If the installer finishes while you are still on the fence, spend ten minutes on the review roundup and the combat guide rather than another store page. Resonance is a weekend campaign, not a live-service login loop. The only missable resource worth planning before Chapter 3 is Resonance Points, documented on trophies and collectibles. Everything else can wait until you have parried Valerio and yanked the first Venice archer. If you installed from Game Pass, confirm Play Anywhere is the store you wanted before you sink two hours into a Steam-only save that will not follow you to the living-room Xbox. After that check, go play Blood Ties now; the walkthrough table can wait until Chapter 3.
