Wasn't there meant to be a macOS release?

When I only see the Windows icon on a game on Steam, I die a little bit inside

PS. I don't mind the price if the QUALITY is high enough... Psychonauts original was just amazing, in graphics, gameplay and writing/performances.

I'll gladly pay full price for a quality game, but I fear that "2" will not have nearly as much flair and polish as the original did... I purchased the original on 3 platforms and multiple times... love playing the original. PC, XBOX, PS2, Humble Bundle, Steam, Signed PC Big Box copy (on CDs!!!). I will only buy the new game once on PC only, and hopefully it will live up to my expectations...

I'm also worried that Microsoft may have "muddied" the creative waters at Double Fine :-(

[Julien, cut it out.]

No guarantee, but assume the game to be timed exclusive for now and for a while. I don't think they will drop their initial promise to release it on different platforms. People financially backed them by their promises.

Also, the initial release date would have been Q4 2019. The acquisition by MS has certainly given DF financial security. They wouldn't have had an additional 1 1/2 years of development and polishing if they had published the game themselves.
I think the acquisition solely benefited the game's development.

According to their twitter it is still getting a Mac release.

According to the new backer update that came out today:

"Linux and Mac will be supported shortly after launch - timing on that is TBC."

Unfortunately, that's all the information I have to share on the matter.

#1, it will definitely have polish because that's kinda why they delayed it a couple times lately. #2, Microsoft lets the studios do what they did before they were bought but with more support and funding, so why did you think they quote on quote 'muddied' the creative waters at double fine. #3, i am not a fanboy, i was just saying facts. Because i am very exited for this game to release.

I don't think it will be a timed exclusive. And that it will release on all platforms at launch. Because The 2 Bethesda games that were timed exclusives on Ps5 before Ms bought them is still happening. And so i think Psychonauts 2 will still release on all platforms at launch. That is just my thoughts.
