Differences between Each Platform
No Changes in the Story based on the Hardware
The story of UNDERTALE itself does not change regardless of the platform you play on. Choose the hardware and environment that suits you best and purchase the software to play.
Additional Features Vary by Platform
While there are no differences in the story based on the platform you play on, there are variations in the additional features. None of these additional features have a significant impact on the progression of the story.
Additional Elements for Each Console
Xbox One: Slots and Casino
The Xbox One version includes unique additional elements such as Slots and Casino. You can play Slots and Casino games using Sans, Mew Mew, and G.
Switch: Mad Mew Mew
The Switch version features a unique character called the Mad Mew Mew. This battle does not affect the story progression, but you can enjoy a rare encounter using the Switch.
PS4 and PSVita: Dog Shrine
The PS4 and PSVita versions feature a unique addition called Dog Shrine. Though it doesn't impact the story, it provides opportunities to earn trophies. If you're aiming for a full trophy completion, don't miss out on this feature.

If you prioritize price, the cheapest Steam version is recommended. While lacking extra elements found in Switch or Xbox versions, it offers unique features at the most affordable price.
Choose by Desired Additional Elements
If you have specific additional elements you want, choose the hardware that corresponds to those elements. For example, the Switch version offers battles with Mad Mew Mew, and the PS4 version includes the Dog Shrine. Each hardware has its own unique elements, so it is recommended to choose based on your preference.
Choose by Available Hardware and Environment
If you don't have any particular preferences for price or additional elements, choose a software that is compatible with the hardware you already own or are familiar with in terms of controls. Since precise controls are required during battles with monsters, it is recommended to use a hardware such as a controller or keyboard that you are accustomed to.
