They have a timed exclusivity agreement with Sony, hence PS4 first.

"It will be released on the PC and the PlayStation 4 on January 26, 2016. The game will come to iOS some months after that, and other platforms a bit later." (http://the-witness.net/news/about/)

Fingers crossed for a Linux port at some point! For Blow's last game (Braid) I think the Linux port was done by a third party.

Or maybe it's time to get a copy of Windows and set up a VM with GPU passthrough...

Blow made a comment a few years ago along the lines that even if there wasn't a console exclusivity agreement, they didn't have the resources to launch on multiple consoles simultaneously.

Bit of info why Blow went PS4 over XBO:

Well, I was about to add it to my Steam wish list until I read this. My only non-work computer is a Mac, so I guess I won't be playing it until it's released there.

I'm in the same situation. Perhaps we can hope to play the game in a year or so. If The Witness is even close to the quality of Braid, I'll wait.

FYI, Bootcamp improves graphics performance by 1.5-2x.
