Yes. In C# an int is always 32 bits. The keyword int is an alias for the type System.Int32.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

int in C# = 32-bit[^]

Just to add to the pot: The C# keyword int is a compiler accessor to the System.Int32 type. You may use the below code to validate this as an excercise on each platform:

typeof(int) == typeof(System.Int32)

The above code will return true.
