No, Styx: Blades of Greed does not support crossplay at this time. Players are limited to playing within their own platform's ecosystem. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.
Styx: Blades of Greed is available on the following platforms:
| Feature | Supported | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | No | Players are limited to their own platform. |
| Cross-Progression | No | Saves and unlocks stay tied to each platform. |

No — Styx: Blades of Greed does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.
No — Styx: Blades of Greed does not offer split screen or couch co-op. To play together, each player needs their own system running the game.
No, Styx: Blades of Greed is strictly single-player. The game focuses entirely on solo stealth gameplay where you control Styx through complex multi-layered vertical environments. Unlike some action games that offer co-op modes alongside the campaign, the Styx series has always been a solo stealth experience and Blades of Greed maintains this tradition. There are no online features, no PvP modes, and no way to play with friends.
A limited-time 'Amber Trial' demo is available on Steam now, covering the full first hour of the game across two key missions: an infiltration inside a massive golem to destroy it from within, and a high-risk zeppelin theft in The Wall (the game's first open environment). Importantly, demo progress fully transfers to the full game when it launches February 19, 2026. Pre-order the Quartz Edition ($69.99 PC) to access 48-hour early access starting February 17.
Blades of Greed introduces several major additions to the proven Styx formula: the Greed System (choose between safe paths and lucrative but risky routes — carrying a heavy loot bag makes Styx slower and louder), new Quartz Powers including Mind Control and Time Shifting, vertical floating city environments (the Seven Skies), Styx now leads his own crew aboard a zeppelin, and Ray-Tracing enhanced Amber-Vision on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It's the biggest evolution the series has seen.
Standard Edition: $49.99 (console) / $39.99 (PC) — Base game + Master of Shadows Skin (pre-order bonus). Quartz Edition: $69.99 (console) / $59.99 (PC) — Base game, 48-hour early access (Feb 17), Greedy Skin Pack, Legacy Skin Pack, Weapon Pack (3 daggers), Starter Pack. Master of Stealth Collection: $69.99 — Everything in Quartz Edition PLUS Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness (perfect for newcomers). Physical copies on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S release March 12, 2026.
No, Styx: Blades of Greed is accessible to newcomers. The game features returning allies and story context, but Cyanide Studio designed it to work as a standalone entry. For the richest lore experience, the Master of Stealth Collection ($69.99) bundles all three games together. If you've played Shards of Darkness (2017), you'll recognize characters and world-building — the nearly nine-year gap means returning players will also benefit from a quick lore refresher.
No, Styx: Blades of Greed is strictly single-player. The entire Styx series has always been a solo stealth experience.
February 17, 2026 for Quartz Edition early access holders, and February 19, 2026 for standard launch on PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Physical console copies release March 12, 2026.
Yes, all progress from the Amber Trial demo transfers to the full game when it launches February 19, 2026.
The Greed System forces you to choose between safe paths and lucrative but risky routes. Stealing more gold lets you buy better gear, but a heavy loot bag makes Styx louder and slower — making stealth harder.
No. The game is single-player only with no online features. Cross-progression is not applicable.
New players: Master of Stealth Collection ($69.99) — includes all 3 games. Returning fans: Quartz Edition for early access + cosmetics. Budget pick: Standard Edition ($39.99 PC) for the base game.
No, Blades of Greed is only on PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. No Nintendo Switch version has been announced.
