FAQ
Before you buy it for a device
Is Slay the Spire 2 on Switch or mobile?
The platform data captured for this page names Windows, macOS, and Linux. It does not provide a console or phone entry, so a Switch or mobile release cannot be confirmed here.
Will it run on an older laptop?
The floor is a dual-core 2.0 GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM, and 1 GB VRAM on each listed desktop system. Compare your machine with the exact graphics API: DirectX 12 or Vulkan on Windows, Metal on macOS, and Vulkan 1.0 or OpenGL 3.3 on Linux.
How much space does it need?
4 GB available space, and the same figure in every recommended tier. Storage is not where this game asks for anything.
Does it support a controller?
Full controller support is part of the game, alongside a mouse-only option. That combination matters for a deckbuilder: you can play the whole run on a pad, or keep the pointer when you want to read a card quickly.
Which languages can I play in?
Fourteen: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Simplified Chinese, Thai, and Turkish. Translation work was still being added during the beta period, so keep the language label with the version you are reading.
A paid release, not a free trial
The listing shows a paid desktop release, so the device check is also the buying decision. If your machine clears the minimum line, the other thing worth reading before purchase is how the reception divides, because the store average hides it.
