Short answer
No Rest for the Wicked 1.0 is planned for October 2026 on PC through Steam and PlayStation 5. Moon Studios has announced the month, but not an exact release day. Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 are listed as TBD, so neither platform has a confirmed launch date.
1.0 platform status
| Platform | Official status | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| PC / Steam | October 2026 | Confirmed for the full 1.0 launch window. |
| PlayStation 5 | October 2026 | Confirmed for the same launch month as PC. |
| Xbox Series X|S | TBD | Wishlist availability does not equal a confirmed launch date. |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | TBD | No release window has been announced. |
| Steam Deck | Not separately confirmed | PC support should not be treated as a performance or compatibility promise. |
What Moon Studios has announced for 1.0
The official launch announcement describes 1.0 as a major expansion rather than a small version-label change. The announced scope includes:
- Additional hand-crafted regions and new encounters.
- New bosses, enemies, and weapons.
- A redesigned class and progression system.
- More endgame activities and the conclusion of the current story arc.
- Persistent multiplayer realms.
- Crossplay and cross-save between supported PC and console versions.
These are confirmed feature categories. Exact balance values, progression routes, item locations, boss behavior, and final system rules still need launch-version verification.
What has not been confirmed
Several common search questions do not yet have a complete official answer:
- The exact October release day and launch time.
- Final Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 release dates.
- Verified Steam Deck performance and settings for the 1.0 build.
- Final platform-specific performance modes.
- Whether every Early Access mechanic or item will carry into 1.0 unchanged.
We will update this page when Moon Studios publishes a dated announcement. Unconfirmed dates from retailer listings, search snippets, social posts, or community speculation are not used here.
Should you trust Early Access guides for 1.0?
Use them only as historical context. The announced progression redesign alone can affect builds, stats, weapon requirements, upgrade paths, and beginner recommendations. New regions and encounters can also change routes, quest order, item sources, and boss progression.
For that reason, this site will re-check the following before publishing 1.0 guides:
- Character creation, first-hour progression, and early unlocks.
- Stats, classes, respec rules, weapon scaling, and Build recommendations.
- Boss list, order, attacks, rewards, and related quests.
- Weapon, armor, rune, material, and key-item sources.
- Multiplayer rules, crossplay behavior, realm ownership, and shared progress.
- Map routes, locations, fast travel, crafting, and other core systems.
