Direct Release Answer
ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies is currently listed for a PC release on May 21, 2026. The official press page names ZA/UM as developer and publisher, and the Steam page positions the game as an espionage RPG from the creators of Disco Elysium. This page is built for players who need release facts before launch, not a fake full walkthrough.
This is a pre-release guide checked on May 19, 2026. It uses the official ZERO PARADES press page, live Steam listing, storefront pages, and public preview coverage. Final walkthrough routes, achievements, choices, endings, and performance need hands-on verification after the PC release.
| Item | Current answer | Verification status |
|---|---|---|
| PC release date | May 21, 2026 | Official / Steam-listed |
| Developer and publisher | ZA/UM | Official |
| Steam app ID | 2863680 | Steam-listed |
| Genre signal | Espionage RPG / CRPG / story-rich RPG | Official / Steam-listed |
| User reviews | No Steam user-review score before release | Steam-listed |
Platform And Storefront Status
The current platform answer is PC first. Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG all have public store pages for ZERO PARADES. The official press page also lists PlayStation 5 for 2026, but that does not mean PS5 has the same May 21 PC date. Keep the page language precise: PC on May 21, PS5 later in 2026 unless the official page changes.
| Platform or store | Current status | Best wording |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | Listed for PC | Launch storefront |
| Epic Games Store | Listed for PC | Launch storefront |
| GOG | Listed for PC | Launch storefront |
| PlayStation 5 | Listed for 2026 | Later platform, not the PC launch date |
Steam Features And Languages
Steam currently lists ZERO PARADES as a single-player game with Steam achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing. Storefront labels are useful because players ask whether it is multiplayer, whether saves sync, and whether achievements exist. They should not be stretched into claims about trophy difficulty, save-scumming, chapter select, or route structure before the live build is available.
For language support, use the live storefront as the source of truth at the time of purchase. Language grids can change close to release, and translation quality can only be judged after players test the final text-heavy build.
PC Requirements And Launch Checks
Steam currently lists a 16 GB RAM minimum, DirectX 11, Windows 10 minimum, and a GTX 1060 6 GB class GPU as the minimum graphics target. Recommended requirements currently move to Windows 11 and a higher Nvidia GPU class. These are storefront requirements, not performance proof.
| Launch-week check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Steam Deck status | A text-heavy isometric RPG may be playable on handhelds, but font size and battery life matter |
| Ultra-wide and controller comfort | Tactical View and dialogue menus need UI testing |
| Save and cloud behavior | Story-rich RPGs need reliable rollback and sync behavior |
| Accessibility options | Subtitles, input remapping, and readable UI are essential for long dialogue sessions |
