PC stores, Switch, mobile and mods

The PC game is sold on Steam, Epic Games Store and STOVE. Native mobile editions are scheduled for November 24, 2026, followed by console, Mac and Microsoft Store editions on January 26, 2027; GeForce NOW remains a separate streaming option.

Platform information checked: October 29, 2026.

Where to get the PC game

Steam, Epic Games Store and STOVE have official product pages. Compare the requirements and language support on the store you intend to use.

Secret Mode’s June 25 announcement also identifies all three PC stores. A purchase on one store does not automatically provide a copy on another.

GeForce NOW: check the game’s own listing

The NVIDIA catalog checked on September 8 lists Everything is Crab under Steam, with Premium Members Only and Install-To-Play markers. Do not assume that owning the Epic or STOVE edition grants access to this listing.

Install-To-Play installs the supported PC game in the cloud. Confirm the current listing, your region and membership before buying; the service’s catalog and access conditions can change.

Mobile, console, Mac, Microsoft Store and GOG

Secret Mode’s October 28 trailer schedules Android and iOS for November 24, 2026. Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Mac and Microsoft Store editions are scheduled for January 26, 2027. It also says all platforms will receive the same content as the PC version, including new updates.

Nintendo separately confirms the January 26 date for both Switch editions. The Switch 2 edition adds enhanced performance and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, and Switch owners can upgrade to it for free.

These are future release dates, not evidence that those editions are available today. Check the matching official store listing at launch. Neither announcement confirms a GOG edition.

Official game announcements

Steam Deck and Steam Machine are separate compatibility signals

The September 13 official announcement marks Everything is Crab as Steam Machine Verified. That status applies to Valve’s Steam Machine target and remains separate from the newly scheduled native mobile and console editions.

Steam Deck runs the PC game. The official 1.2.1 notes include fixes for Steam Input and controllers connected to Steam Deck; they do not guarantee a particular frame rate in every run.

Check the Steam listing’s current compatibility information and test your installed version. Use the device guide for the dated Steam Machine announcement, Deck resolution fixes and performance-report limits.

Mods, trainers and unofficial downloads

A mod changes an existing game; its existence does not confirm an official mobile or console port. A cosmetic change, a gameplay mod and a trainer also serve different purposes.

Before changing a PC installation, check the author, supported game version, required files and removal instructions. Keep a separate save backup. If compatibility is unspecified, do not treat the package as verified.

Do not enter store credentials into an unknown installer or treat a search-result title as proof of an official APK. This guide does not certify individual downloads.

FAQ

Does the free Switch upgrade cover a PC purchase?

Nintendo describes an upgrade for owners of the Switch version. That statement is narrower than a general cross-platform entitlement: it does not say that a Steam, Epic or STOVE purchase grants the Switch edition. Match the edition you own to the stated upgrade path before making a purchase decision. Source

Do the announced Switch 2 improvements establish a frame-rate target?

The announcement names enhanced performance and Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, but does not give a numeric performance target. Treat those as announced features, then consult the released product’s specifications when available. A mouse-control feature is also not evidence that every controller configuration or handheld input method behaves identically. Source

Can I use a cloud session to judge the future native port?

A streamed session runs the PC game on a remote system and adds network and input constraints. A native port runs on the target device. Results from one setup cannot establish the other’s offline behavior, hardware requirements or save-transfer support. Check those questions for the particular edition instead of inferring them from a video of cloud play. Source
