The Hello Neighbor download for PC comes from Steam or the Microsoft Store on Windows 11 and Windows 10. Buy it once, let the store client install it, and start sneaking into the Neighbor’s house.
Dynamic Pixels develops the stealth horror game and tinyBuild publishes it. The same game installs free to start on Apple silicon Macs, iPhone, iPad and Android, with in-app purchases.
Below: which store to use, the official links, install steps for each platform, PC requirements, fixes and removal.
Which download do you need for your device?
Every platform gets the game from its own official store. Match your device to a row and open that link.
| Your device | Where to get it | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC, 64-bit, with Steam | Steam store page | $29.99 |
| Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC, 64-bit, with a Microsoft account | Microsoft Store listing | $29.99 |
| Xbox console, or PC and Xbox with one purchase | Xbox store page | $29.99, Xbox Play Anywhere |
| Mac with an Apple silicon chip | Mac App Store listing | Free, in-app purchases |
| iPhone or iPad on iOS 13.0 or later | App Store listing | Free, in-app purchases |
| Android phone or tablet | Google Play listing | Free, ads and in-app purchases |
Neither PC store offers a standalone offline installer. Steam or the Microsoft Store downloads the files, and the current Windows package is about 2 GB.

How to install the game on Windows 11 and 10 with Steam
Steam is the most common PC route. Install the Steam client first and sign in to your Steam account.
- Open the Steam store page in the Steam client.
- Select Add to Cart, then open your cart.
- Select Purchase for myself and complete the $29.99 payment.
- Go to your Library and select the game in the left list.
- Select Install, pick a drive with at least 5 GB free, and confirm.
- Select Play when the download finishes.
The Steam version has full controller support, 17 achievements, trading cards, Remote Play on TV and Family Sharing. Mods install from the Steam Workshop.
Install it from the Microsoft Store or the Xbox app
The Microsoft Store version is an x64 package that needs Windows 10 version 1607 (build 14393) or later. Xbox Play Anywhere means one purchase covers both PC and Xbox.
- Open the Microsoft Store listing and sign in with your Microsoft account.
- Select Buy and complete the $29.99 payment.
- Select Install and let the Microsoft Store or Xbox app finish the download.
- Open Start, search for the game, and select it to launch.
- Sign in with your Xbox profile when the game asks, so cloud saves sync.
The Xbox page lists Xbox cloud saves, so progress carries between a PC and an Xbox console on the same account.
Is the PC version free?
No. The Windows game costs money, while the Mac and mobile releases cost nothing to download.
Pay $29.99 on Steam or the Microsoft Store for the full Windows game. Steam and Xbox both list the PC game at $29.99. The App Store lists the iPhone, iPad and Mac version as free with in-app purchases. Google Play lists the Android version as free, with ads and in-app purchases.
Google Play also offers the Android version on Windows through Google Play Games on PC, the only free route on a Windows PC.
Should you buy on Steam or the Microsoft Store?
Both stores sell the same game at the same price. The extras decide it.
Buy on Steam if you want mods; choose the Microsoft Store if you also own an Xbox. Steam adds the Workshop for community mods, Remote Play, Family Sharing, trading cards and achievements. The Microsoft Store copy supports Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves, so it also runs on Xbox with the same progress.
Which download do you need for your Mac?
Steam lists Windows as the only desktop platform, so there is no Mac build there. Apple silicon Macs run the iPad version from the Mac App Store instead.
The Mac App Store listing shows the game as Designed for iPad. Apple runs unmodified iPhone and iPad apps only on Macs with Apple silicon.
| Your Mac | What to do | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Mac with an M-series Apple silicon chip | Open the App Store, search for Hello Neighbor, then select Get on the listing labeled Designed for iPad | Mac App Store listing |
| Mac with an Intel processor | The iPad version does not install on Intel Macs; play on an iPhone, iPad or a Windows PC instead | iPhone and iPad listing |
| Mac plus a Windows PC in the house | Buy the Windows version on Steam and play on the PC | Steam store page |
To check your chip, open the Apple menu and select About This Mac. The Chip line shows Apple M1 or later on Apple silicon models.
Check the PC system requirements before you buy
The PC game needs a 64-bit system and a mid-range graphics card. Steam lists these Windows requirements.
