What platforms is Lethal Company available on?

When gamers think of chaotic cooperative indie games of the last couple years, few titles come to their minds as quickly as Lethal Company. This horror co-op shooter exploded in popularity at the tail-end of 2023, thanks in small part to its stream-friendly nature and engaging survival premise. While the game isn’t widely available yet on all possible platforms, it still gathered quite a crowd, much of whom would love to play on platforms like PS5 and Switch.

What is Lethal Company playable on?

Unfortunately for console players, you can still only play Lethal Company on PC via Steam. Lethal Company doesn’t currently have any plans to expand onto other platforms. It’s been in Early Access since Oct. 23rd 2023 with no current date set for its “official” launch. We strongly expect Lethal Company to become available on other gaming platforms after its early access period.

Optimal Lethal Company PC settings

Thankfully for PC users, Lethal Company doesn’t demand too much from a graphical or performance standpoint. You just need an Intel Core i5 7400 CPU to run Lethal Company on its minimal settings. The AMD equivalent isn’t listed on the Steam page, but AMD Ryzen 5 1400 and up all run Lethal Company fine. Other system requirements for optimal play include a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 or AMD R9 270X, both GPUs which are commonly installed in 10-year-old laptops and other older PCs.

Funnily enough, Lethal Company doesn’t get much more graphically impressive than how it runs with its minimal spec hardware. The game was made with a low budget and intentionally mimics the look and style of games from the N64 and PS1 era.

Does Lethal Company have graphics settings?

Want to customize Lethal Company’s graphics settings further? Well, there’s actually no official graphics settings in-game to enhance or tailor the experience with options like render distance and FPS. The only available settings are selecting a display mode and framerate cap.

How to download Lethal Company graphics mods

Players wishing to play the game with a higher resolution can browse the available mods for the game. The HDlethalcompany mod is currently the most popular way to enhance Lethal Company’s resolution. You can download this mod from the Thunderstore mod site as long as you have a mod manager like r2modman downloaded.

How to play Lethal Company on Mac platforms

Mac users have to undergo a more complex process to play Lethal Company. This is because Windows is still the primary platform that the game was specifically built for. Luckily, there is still a way to play and install Lethal Company on Mac.

Intel Mac users can download Windows to their Apple machines to play Lethal Company, but that won’t be an option if you’re using an Apple Silicon chip.

Apple products made after 2020 contain the Silicon chip for improved processing power. Older devices prior to 2020 contain Intel processors, still had the ability to download Windows through the Boot Camp Assistant. As long as your Apple device was made before 2020, you should be able to play Lethal Company on it.

Will Lethal Company come to Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and Switch?

Lethal Company isn’t currently available on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, or Nintendo Switch. The game is likely to become available on consoles in the future, but there isn’t a clear timeline.

Will Lethal Company come to mobile?

You can’t play Lethal Company on Android or iOS devices because the game isn’t on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. It’s also not possible to sideload Lethal Company since it isn’t available on mobile platforms.

While the game can still be played on mobile with the help of emulators, that isn’t an official method, and it’ll require some technical knowledge to set it up. When Lethal Company eventually rolls out on other platforms, we expect mobile to be on top of that list as it can introduce many new users to the game, alongside a Lethal Company console release.

Lethal Company future updates

The latest Lethal Company update released Aug. 17 of last year. The v60 “Stuffy” update featured a new Mineshaft facility to explore accompanied by a fearsome new monster. Aside from small bug fixes and added content, the developer hasn’t been focusing on expanding Lethal Company to other platforms. Filling out the game’s content to provide a complete experience remains the focus for Lethal Company‘s immediate future.

Other games like Lethal Company

That said, if you’re looking for a similar experience to Lethal Company, there’s plenty of options, and best of all, they’re on other platforms besides PC.

Five Nights At Freddy’s

Five Nights At Freddy’s has that claustrophobic atmosphere that Lethal Company excels at. The series spans 19 different titles, with the latest game being FNAF: Into the Pit from 2024. Though the majority of FNAF games are single-player only, they have the advantage of being available on all major platforms and at a low price.

Escape the Backrooms

If you’re looking for another tense survival horror game, but this time involving some cooperation, Escape the Backrooms supplies that and then some. You and three other players must navigate a series of backrooms containing a unique unkillable monster in each. Avoiding the monster and solving bizarre puzzles to escape is a blast, especially since cooperation is so hectic. Unlike FNAF, Escape the Backrooms isn’t available on consoles yet, but has full Mac and GeForce Now functionality in addition to Windows.

We’ll have to wait until Lethal Company sunsets its early access period until it is playable on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Switch. The developer is still filling it with content to ensure the game has longevity, so until then we’ll keep freaking out over new monsters included in the drip-fed updates.
