Is Foundation available on Linux?
Even if Linux is not our top priority right now, we do make the effort to let you experiment Foundation on this operating system. Since the game is still in active development and geared towards Windows, issues may arise when playing on Linux. This is especially true with new updates to the game or Proton, the Valve (Steam) tool allowing you to play Windows games on Linux.
Is Foundation available on Mac?
Foundation is not currently available on MacOS. However, you can play via GeForce Now.
You can also try installing an emulator such as Proton or Wine, though they are not officially supported.
Lastly, it is possible to play Windows-based games on Mac with Boot Camp. Read more details about it here.
Is Foundation available on consoles?
Not yet, we are concentrating on developing the Windows version but will look at other platform possibilities in the future.
