As of October 30, 2026, The Wolf Among Us Remastered is available digitally on Windows PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, on PlayStation 5, and on Xbox One. The Xbox One edition runs on Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. The Nintendo Switch version is delayed to a later, unannounced date.
The original game remains a separate option: its PC release is listed on Epic and Steam, while the original PS4 edition is still offered through Sony’s US storefront and can be played on PS5 with Sony’s warning that some PS4 features may be unavailable. Those two editions should not be treated as one platform list.
At a glance

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows PC | Purchase listings on Epic and Steam | Steam and Epic digital release | Steam lists 64-bit Windows 10 and 8 GB RAM minimum for Remastered | Oct 2026 |
| PlayStation 4 | PS4 game sold through Sony’s US storefront | Not a Remastered launch platform | The PS4 edition plays on PS5; Sony says some PS4 features may be absent | Oct 2026 |
| PlayStation 5 | Original PS4 edition playable through backward compatibility | Dedicated digital PS5 release | Original and Remastered are separate products | Oct 2026 |
| Xbox One | Original digital version documented by Telltale’s owner terms | Digital release | Qualifying digital owners may receive an owner discount | Oct 2026 |
| Xbox Series X|S | Do not assume a separately verified original-edition listing | Playable through Xbox One backward compatibility | Telltale does not describe a distinct native Series edition in the launch announcement | Oct 2026 |
| Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 | No verified original release | Not available at launch; later date unannounced | An earlier October 8 schedule was superseded by Telltale’s October 26 delay notice | Oct 2026 |

This table separates the original 2014-era release from the 2026 Remastered launch. A listing for one edition does not prove that the other edition exists on the same device.
Where can you play The Wolf Among Us Remastered today?
The verified launch-day platforms are Windows PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox One. On Xbox Series X|S, the Xbox One version is playable by backward compatibility rather than being presented as a separate native Series release.
Windows PC
Remastered launched digitally on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Steam’s listing specifies a 64-bit version of Windows 10 and at least 8 GB of RAM as minimum requirements. Those published requirements are for the remaster, so a computer that handled the older game should not automatically be assumed to meet them.
PlayStation 5
The PS5 has a dedicated digital Remastered version. It is not a PS4 release that merely happens to run on newer hardware; Telltale identifies PS5 as a launch platform.
Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S
Remastered is sold as an Xbox One digital release. Telltale says that edition plays on Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility. That wording matters when searching the Xbox store: look for the Xbox One product and its compatibility information instead of expecting a separately labeled native Series SKU.
Where can you still play the original game?
The original five-episode game remains a distinct purchase on the platforms with currently verified storefront evidence. Its availability should be checked in the store for your region, because a historical release record is not proof that every old listing is still active.
PC: Steam and Epic Games Store
Epic lists the original game for purchase, and Steam displays an original-game purchase listing. A direct Steam retrieval encountered an age gate, so the store’s regional presentation may require an account or age confirmation before the product page is visible.
PS4 and PS5
Sony’s US storefront offers the original PS4 edition. Sony also states that this PS4 game is playable on PS5, while warning that some PS4 features may not be available when running it on the newer console. That is backward-compatible play of the original, not the dedicated PS5 Remastered release.
Xbox One
Telltale’s qualifying-owner terms identify an original Xbox One digital version. The available evidence does not establish an independently verified original-edition compatibility listing for Xbox Series X|S, so buyers should confirm the exact Xbox store product and compatibility label before paying for the older version.
Older systems and mobile
A community FAQ hosted by Telltale records historical releases for PS3, Xbox 360, PS Vita, Mac, iPhone and Android. That is useful legacy context, but it does not establish current digital purchasing, supported operating systems, complete episode access or compatibility with modern devices. No current mobile Remastered version has been announced in the launch platform list.
What happened to the Nintendo Switch version?
Switch is not a launch-day platform. Telltale’s October 26 announcement states: “The Nintendo Switch version will launch at a later date, with timing to be shared soon.” The October 29 launch release repeats that Switch versions will follow, but gives no replacement date.
An earlier October 8 announcement had named October 29 for Switch, which is why some listings may still show the old date. Use the later delay notice and the launch release as the current position. There is no verified original Switch release either, and a preliminary mention of Switch 2 should not be treated as a present-day purchase option.
What does Remastered add over the original?
Both editions contain the complete five-episode original story. Remastered changes the presentation and adds several extras rather than replacing the underlying story.
- Updated visual presentation and audio.
- A black-and-white Noir Mode.
- Five playable deleted scenes.
- An art gallery with more than 100 publisher-described artworks.
- More than one hour of developer interviews, according to Telltale and PM Studios.
The quantities above are publisher descriptions of the included content, not independent measurements. If you mainly want the original narrative on hardware you already own, the older edition remains a legitimate route; if presentation updates and bonus material matter, the PS5, PC or Xbox Remastered release is the relevant product.
Which edition should you choose?
Start with the device you actually intend to use, then decide whether the extras justify buying a second version of a story you may already own.
| Your situation | Most practical choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You own a PS5 and want the newest presentation | PS5 Remastered | It is the dedicated PS5 release and includes the presentation and bonus additions |
| You own the original PS4 game and only need the story | Original PS4 edition on PS4 or PS5 | It contains all five episodes; PS5 playback carries Sony’s feature caveat |
| You play on PC | Choose between the original Steam/Epic listing and Remastered on Steam/Epic | Check the Remastered Windows 10, 64-bit and 8 GB RAM minimum before buying |
| You use Xbox Series X|S | Xbox One Remastered release | Telltale identifies Series play through backward compatibility |
| You want a Switch version | Wait for the announced later release | No launch-day Switch product or replacement date is confirmed |
| You want the lowest current entry price | Compare the store’s regional checkout | Owner and new-player promotions differ by platform, account and region |
How publisher choice-transfer statements should be read
Telltale says a signed-in Telltale Account can carry defining Remastered choices into the planned sequel. It also says players who begin the sequel without a previous playthrough will be able to establish prior choices. These statements concern the planned sequel’s choice setup; they are not a promise that an original-edition save file imports directly into Remastered.
How much does Remastered cost, and who gets a discount?
Telltale and PM Studios list a $24.99 USD base price for Remastered at launch. The launch promotion runs from October 29 through November 12, 2026, with the stated start and end times at 6 a.m. Pacific; regional pricing and timing can differ.
| Buyer and store | Published promotion | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| New player on Steam, Epic or Xbox | 20% off | Store and region determine the final checkout price |
| New player on PlayStation | 20% off | Requires PlayStation Plus |
| Qualifying digital original owner on Steam, Epic or Xbox | 50% off | The original must be owned on the same platform store and account |
| Qualifying digital original owner on PS5 | 50% off with PlayStation Plus; 30% without | The qualifying original must be digital and tied to the same platform account |
Physical copies of the original do not qualify for these digital-owner discounts. The offers are store-specific, may vary by region and should not be assumed to stack. Check the price shown after signing into the account that owns the original before completing the purchase.
Can you buy a physical edition?
There is no Remastered disc at the October 29 digital launch. Telltale and PM Studios plan physical editions for multiple platforms in early 2027, but exact formats, retailers and dates still need confirmation.
The original game had historically documented PS4 and Xbox One retail releases. If you want a disc now, search specifically for “The Wolf Among Us PS4 physical game” or “The Wolf Among Us Xbox One physical game,” and verify that the listing is for the original edition. Check the seller’s actual disc, condition, region and console compatibility; no particular retailer listing is guaranteed here. Sony’s confirmation that the original PS4 edition plays on PS5 does not turn an original disc into a Remastered copy.
How should you check a listing before purchasing?
Store pages can retain old release dates or blur backward compatibility with a native version. Use this short check before you buy.
- Identify the edition. Confirm whether the product title says the original game or Remastered. The five-episode story is shared, but the platforms, features and discount rules differ.
- Match the product to your hardware. For PS5, decide whether you want the original PS4 product running through compatibility or the dedicated PS5 Remastered product. For Xbox Series X|S, verify that the listing is the Xbox One edition marked as playable through backward compatibility.
- Check the PC requirements. For Remastered on Steam, verify 64-bit Windows 10 and 8 GB RAM minimum before purchase, then review the complete requirements on the live store page.
- Sign in to the correct account. Owner discounts require the qualifying digital original on the same platform store and account; an original disc does not satisfy that condition.
- Confirm the region and final price. The $24.99 figure is the US launch base price, while promotions and regional checkout totals can differ.
- Treat Switch and mobile listings cautiously. Do not pay for a Switch product until Telltale publishes the later date, and do not assume a historical mobile listing offers current device support or all episodes.
Is the original likely to disappear now that Remastered is out?
A community question about a possible delisting is not evidence of a delisting decision. The appropriate present-day evidence is that original PC listings remain visible on Epic and Steam and the original PS4 edition remains offered through Sony’s US storefront as of this platform check.
Store availability can change by region or publisher decision, so a live listing today should not be read as a permanent guarantee. If you specifically want the original presentation, verify the product page and edition before purchasing rather than assuming a Remastered listing includes both versions.
What is the clearest answer for each device?
- Windows PC: Both editions have verified Steam and Epic purchase routes; Remastered requires checking its newer PC minimums.
- PS4: The original edition is the relevant product; Remastered is not a PS4 launch release.
- PS5: You can play either the original PS4 edition through compatibility or the dedicated Remastered release.
- Xbox One: Both the original digital edition and Remastered are identified, with separate discount conditions.
- Xbox Series X|S: Remastered plays through the Xbox One release’s backward compatibility.
- Switch or Switch 2: Wait; the announced version is delayed and undated.
- Phone, tablet or legacy console: Historical releases exist, but current buying and compatibility are not established by the available platform announcements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an original-edition save be imported into Remastered?
No direct save-import feature has been established. Telltale’s account statement concerns carrying defining choices into the planned sequel, which is a different system from importing an original save into Remastered.
Is the Xbox Series X|S version a native next-generation port?
Telltale describes the Xbox One Remastered release as playable on Series X|S through backward compatibility. The launch announcement does not identify a separately packaged native Series edition.
Does owning an original disc unlock the Remastered owner discount?
No. The published owner offer is tied to a qualifying digital original on the same platform store and account, so a PS4 or Xbox One disc does not satisfy the stated requirement.
Will the delayed Switch release include the original game too?
The announced Switch version is Remastered, and Telltale has not verified an original-edition Switch release. Its later date and final store details remain unannounced.
