What is still unconfirmed

NCSOFT has not stated the following. We list them rather than guess — if you find a confident answer to one of these elsewhere, it is someone's inference.

The exact download size. 100 GB is the free-space requirement on the store listing, which is not the same number as the download.
Any macOS or Linux build. NCSOFT's Launch FAQ says only Steam and PURPLE on Windows PC are officially supported; Steam Deck may run it but is unsupported.
