Europa Universalis V from Paradox will only support Windows, no Linux or macOS this time

Recently we had the big announcement of Europa Universalis V from Paradox Interactive / Paradox Tinto. Now we know it will only officially support Windows.

Quite a break in tradition here for an in-house Paradox strategy title. Their previous games Victoria 3, Imperator: Rome, Stellaris, Europa Universalis IV, Crusader Kings II + Crusader Kings III and Hearts of Iron IV all had both Native Linux and macOS support.

Originally, their press team couldn’t give me an answer when asked if Linux would be supported, simply telling me the press release info was all they were giving out. However, on the official Paradox forum there’s a reply to a post asking about macOS from Paradox Tinto’s Studio Manager, Johan Andersson, that clearly says:

There are currently no plans for anything else than Steam and Windows.

At least on Linux, you should hopefully be able to run it with Valve’s Proton. Still, a shame to see such a big series move away from direct support.
