This is the best summary I could come up with:

The System Shock remake from Nightdive Studios was originally funded on Kickstarter, and after delays it was eventually released on May 30th, 2023 but two platforms have been missing - Linux and macOS.

Nightdive were pretty silent on both platforms for a long time, especially after they ended up having a lot of issues actually making the game, at one point they entirely paused development on it.

Unfortunately no, plans for MacOS and Linux releases of System Shock have been shelved.

macOS is not exactly surprising, Apple are notorious for making things more and more difficult for developers.

On the Linux side, it's also not overly surprising given that we have Proton now which enables the game to run with a tick of box on Steam.

I even showed it previously running really nicely on Steam Deck with Proton using the demo.
