Platforms and Versions Compared
Which platforms Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea runs on, the Switch 2 Edition, PC specs, controller support, Steam features and what each version includes.
It ships on five platforms: Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam. There is no PS4, Xbox One or mobile version. The Switch 2 Edition is its own listing.
Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea runs on five platforms — Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam — and they are not identical purchases. The differences that matter are the Switch 2 Edition, the PC feature list, and which bonus cow pack you get for buying there.

The five versions
| Version | Notes |
|---|---|
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Sold as Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, its own listing on the Nintendo store. Bonus: Mooberry Cow Pack on purchase |
| Nintendo Switch | Original Switch release, same 15 October date. Bonus: Mooberry Cow Pack |
| PlayStation 5 | Retail and digital. Bonus: Moonana Cow Pack |
| Xbox Series X/S | Retail and digital. Bonus: Moonana Cow Pack |
| Steam (PC) | No pre-purchase option. Bonus: Mooberry Cow Pack as an early purchase bonus |
There is no PlayStation 4, Xbox One or mobile version. Teradea is not a cross-buy title, and there is no cross-save between platforms.
PC players: read this before you buy
The Steam page tells you most of what you need, and one line matters more than the rest.
- Controller only. The listing advertises full controller support plus DualShock and DualSense support, and no keyboard-and-mouse scheme. Every menu prompt you see in the game's own screenshots is a pad button —
LT Select Song,LB Activate Photo Mode,RB Change Outfit,Y Cook,X Animal Bag,A Sleep!. If you only play with a mouse and keyboard, plan around that. - Steam Cloud and Family Sharing are both supported, so progress follows your account and the library can be shared in a household.
- Steam Achievements are supported, and the achievement list maps onto the game's systems rather than onto busywork.
- No Steam pre-purchase. Natsume said the Steam version would not take pre-orders; the Mooberry Cow Pack arrives as an early purchase bonus instead, running from launch through 11 November 2026.
PC system requirements
Straight from the store listing.
| Minimum | Recommended | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 Pro 64-bit | Windows 11 Pro 64-bit |
| Processor | Intel Core i5-7200U @ 2.50GHz | Intel Core i5-12400F @ 3.70GHz |
| Memory | 16 GB RAM | 16 GB RAM |
| Graphics | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 |
| DirectX | Version 12 | Version 12 |
| Storage | 8 GB available space | 8 GB available space |
The memory floor is the unusual part: 16 GB on both tiers. A 64-bit processor and OS are required.
Switch versus Switch 2
Both are supported on day one, and both are listed as full releases rather than a port-then-upgrade arrangement. Beyond the store listing and box picture, Natsume has not published a feature comparison between the two, so treat the Switch 2 Edition as the version to buy if you own that hardware and the original Switch release as the one to buy if you do not.
Which should you pick?
- Portability and the cow bonus — Switch or Switch 2.
- Trophy-style completion and a console library — PlayStation 5.
- Game Pass household or Xbox ecosystem — Xbox Series X/S.
- Long sessions at a desk, mods-free, controller in hand — Steam.
The bonus contents are covered in detail on the pre-order bonuses page, and the release date page has the full announcement timeline and unlock timing. If you are already decided, the beginner guide is the next thing to read.
