Yes, and PC is the best option: both Ryubing (Oct 2024) and Citron list it as Playable. PC users report 1x/60fps on Eden, including a 60-hour run with only two brief freezes, though many others say Eden stays locked at 30fps and crashes when unlocked. Early Eden builds had broken rift rendering and white noise in the Still World, fixed from v0.0.3 on; update 1.1.0, released with the Switch 2, used to hang at boot on Ryubing 1.3.2. Mac users report freezes in cutscenes and random crashes; MeloNX runs it on an iPhone 16 Pro Max, though one update caused crashes at launch, and on Android Eden mostly runs at 30fps on chips like the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.
Settings & known issues
- Eden v0.0.3 fixed rift rendering, v0.0.4-rc1 fixed audio noise, v0.0.4 fixed a video-decode memory-leak crash.
- Most 60fps and blur-removal mods only support 1.0.1/1.0.2 and misbehave on 1.1.0 (user reports).
- Many users report crashes after unlocking the frame rate on Eden; some switched to Ryubing.
- Steam Deck: Vulkan, VSync off, accuracy left on Accurate, no graphics mods. One user finished it nearly glitch-free.
