10/21/2026 STOU Wiki Editors Last updated: 10/21/2026 3 min read

FAQ

Can I play on Mac at launch?
No. Steam appdetails on 2026-10-21 shows platforms.mac false. The 21 Oct 2026 launch announcement and Captain’s Devlog #4 (16 Oct 2026) both state Mac support will arrive in a future patch after the PC Steam release.
Is Star Trek: Outposts Unknown on Steam Deck Verified?
Not as of 2026-10-21. The Steam store page hardware compatibility payload shows resolved_category 0 with no Steam Deck checkmarks—treat Deck play as unsupported/unknown until Valve or the developer publishes a rating.
Does the game have multiplayer or co-op?
Steam lists only the Single-player category for app 3469910 (appdetails categories, verified 2026-10-21). No cooperative or PvP category appears on the store listing.
Are mods or Steam Workshop supported?
The Steam store categories for app 3469910 include Single-player, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing—no Steam Workshop entry on 2026-10-21. Official news does not announce mod tools; assume no official mod support unless stated later.
How much disk space is required?
Both minimum and recommended Steam pc_requirements list 10 GB available space (appdetails, 2026-10-21). Download size may differ; check Steam client before buying on small drives.

Last verified: 2026-10-21. Spec text from Steam appdetails pc_requirements. Platform and FAQ facts from the same API and launch announcement.

Use this page before buying—especially if you are on 16 GB RAM, Steam Deck, or Mac. Performance troubleshooting lives on /guides/crash-fix/; value discussion on /guides/is-it-worth-it/.
