Survive the first night, then spend a season learning how to make a single good tool.
Vintage Story is a free survival game released under Proprietary commercial game. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, needs about 6.0 GB of disk space, and requires no account, payment or trial. On a computer, the fastest route is the PlayBound Launcher. On a phone or tablet, use the official store or site instead.
Choose how to install
Install your purchased copy with the PlayBound Launcher.
Purchase a Vintage Story game account, sign in at the official client area, and download the build for your operating system. This is a separate purchase and download, not a Steam install.
Windows
Run the Windows installer, then return to PlayBound. If the game is not detected, use Locate and select Vintagestory.exe.
macOS
Install the macOS build and the .NET 10 runtime required by the developer. Launch the installed app after both are ready.
Linux
Install the Linux build and .NET 10 runtime. The client needs GLIBC 2.34 or newer; launch it from the installed folder after those dependencies are ready.
