Supported Platforms and Storage

PC Companion is currently only available on PC via Steam. As confirmed in the official store listing, the game is not released on consoles or cloud platforms. Ensure you have at least 4 GB of free space. While an HDD works for minimum specs, an SSD is highly recommended to reduce loading times when your companion transitions between different states or activities.

Performance Tips for Optimal Gameplay

To get the most out of PC Companion, consider these performance adjustments:

• Update Graphics Drivers: Always use the latest drivers from NVIDIA or AMD for stability.
