Which platforms and storefronts currently support Over the Hill?

The released game is on Steam for Windows and Linux. The developer also supports Steam Deck and GeForce NOW, giving you additional ways to play the Steam release. Use the full-game Steam listing below to reach the correct product.

When can I play on PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo Switch?

PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 versions are announced for 2027; those console versions have not been released. Use the Steam version if you want to play now.

Will my old demo save carry over?

The developer intended demo saves to work in the full game, but did not guarantee compatibility for every save. A post-launch patch fixed some achievements for players who had played the Next Fest demo. Update and reload your save before considering a fresh run because of an achievement problem.

Has Over the Hill already been released?

Yes. Over the Hill launched on October 14, 2026. The developer's October 19 updates address cosmetics, livery loading, winch anchors and odometer readability.

What is planned after launch?

More quality-of-life fixes and fresh content are in development. Console ports are announced for 2027. Follow the developer announcements for future updates and platform news.

How many players can play together?

You can explore alone or play online co-op with up to four total players: you and up to three friends. The host creates a room in the Server Browser and chooses the player limit, privacy, server region and whether mods are allowed. Rooms can be public or private.

Can I play couch co-op on a shared PC?

No. Local co-op and split-screen are not supported. The multiplayer mode is online co-op, so a shared PC does not offer an official couch co-op mode.

Does progress carry between solo and multiplayer?

Yes. Challenge progress belongs to each participant and carries between solo and multiplayer. Each driver must complete their own checkpoints, so follow the trail rather than relying only on the host's completion.

What should friends check before joining a room?

Use the same game version: a room running a different version will not let you join. The tutorial takes approximately 5 minutes and is recommended before heading out with friends. For a private room, get the host's 6-character room code and use Join by Code.

Is Steam Deck supported?

Yes. Steam Deck is Verified, and the game automatically selects a lighter preset on Deck. On a desktop PC, it starts on its highest preset; review that setting when you first launch.

Can I use Xbox or PlayStation controllers?

Yes. Steam lists full controller support, including DualShock and DualSense pads, and recommends a gamepad. Steering-wheel force feedback was not planned for the initial release.
