Which version should you choose based on how you play?

If you mainly play at home, choose PC, PS5 or Xbox according to the hardware you already own. If you want to play anywhere, mobile is the most practical option, especially as a complement to a living-room version.

Profile	Suitable platform	Why
PC player with suitable hardware	PC	More settings, keyboard and mouse, and several storefronts.
Living-room PlayStation player	PS5	Couch comfort, trophies and DualSense.
Xbox / cloud player	Xbox Series X\|S	Xbox ecosystem, Xbox controller and compatible cloud gaming.
Portable player	iOS / Android	Quickly resume progress using touchscreen controls.
Multi-device player	PC or console + mobile	The most flexible combination thanks to cross-save.

Cross-save is designed precisely for this type of use without forcing you to manage several separate characters.

Which version offers the best performance?

Game.fr does not provide a performance ranking between versions here because Pawprint Studio has not published a complete official comparison of resolutions, frame rates and settings across PS5, Xbox, PC and mobile. On PC, performance naturally varies depending on the configuration. On mobile, it depends heavily on the smartphone model and the available settings. For a precise comparison of FPS or graphics quality, controlled testing on several devices would be required.
