What I know so far about Darktide crossplay is that it’s available on PC (via Steam and Microsoft Store) and on Xbox consoles. There’s no word on whether the game will have PS5 crossplay, and it’s basically one of those waiting games that console players have to go through. The universe Darktide is set in is very lore-heavy and it’s a pretty grimy world, so that’d make for a pretty cool reading experience while you wait for crossplay to be added to your console of choice. I know from waiting for crossplay with another game, ‘Curse Of Tethys, Hellblades Series Part 3 of 3′, a complete novel, a whole story that you can read from start to finish, that’s a really great way to pass the time while you wait. The story is set in a claustrophobic, cursed, tide-locked oceanic trench and follows a crew as they try to survive against all manner of strange and terrifying creatures. The pressure really gets to the crew as the story progresses and it’s all really interesting to read about.

So we can confirm crossplay for Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is working between PC and Xbox players in terms of mixed matchmaking and friend invites. This will not be the case with PS5 players for the time being, as they have not been confirmed to be crossplaying with the above two platforms.

For now though I’m basing all co-op invites off PC and Xbox availability, and checking the latest patch notes, developer tweets, and server updates for surprise announcements and crashes to find out how the party-matching is handling the latest hotfix.

000: Darktide'. My findings on actual crossplay are that PC players can matchmake with Xbox players playing on Xbox Series X S consoles on Steam. I have crossplay matched with friends playing on PC, making for some great cooperative matches, and it treats players on PC and Xbox in the matching pool as if they were on the same platform.

I wish I knew what was going on with the PlayStation side. A PS5 version has not been integrated into this crossplay system, and while I hope a crossplay plan is announced for the console soon, PC/Xbox crossplay is where the game is right now. I spend my time playing with PC/Xbox friends, and I hope that eventually Sony will enable crossplay for PlayStation users too. Until then, I will continue to hope for the best and get plenty of enjoyment out of the crossplay that already exists.

To keep my group chats organized, I’m organizing them by platform. For right now, PC and Xbox can crossplay in ‘Warhammer 40,000: Darktide’ but there has been no confirmation that PS5 players will be able to do so as well.

I just check the developers website every now and then for updates to find out when Sony will hopefully be added to crossplay. Until then I play with other PC/Xbox players to get the smoothest matchmaking experience. Too bad for the current PlayStation players, but the gameplay with the current crossplay is really fun though.

Another somewhat technical, somewhat paranoid take on the matter is why crossplay would be introduced to games gradually. For a game like Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, the developer would have already set up PC and Xbox ecosystems to play together. This involves matchmaking, netcode, account linking etc. All of that would have been sorted out for PC and Xbox players already. The PS5 version on the other hand would involve the development of a new game build, as well as potentially navigating the platform holder’s various certification processes, different SDKS and various issues related to the games’ storefronts and accounts.

Just to give you a practical example of how cross-platform gaming currently works, PC and Xbox players are generally your best bet for finding online multiplayer matches. PS5 versions of games will occasionally be launched and announced as cross-play compatible with other platforms, but often they are launched in a limited capacity first and then added to cross-play pools at a later date. Until that time, I’d recommend co-ordinating with PC/Xbox players and saving those PS5 player invitations for another time – it’s just easier to co-ordinate small groups of players for a night of clearing missions when you can plan ahead.

is darktide crossplay enabled after the latest update?

Another major Darktide update arrives and the community proceeds to dissect it hoping for that one announcement they always seem to hope for with each major update: crossplay. Of course the update does include some nice tweaks to the guns and fixes one of the most persistent crashes on Carnival, but ultimately the community is left with the same unfulfilled dreams of a single unified player base. The developers likely recognize the importance of this feature, but with seemingly insurmountable technical hurdles to cross (i.e. servers, account syncing, anti-cheat measures for PC vs console play) it seems to me that this feature will come in due time but I wouldn’t hold my breath for any particular update to bring it.

Will outlast trials crossplay support PS4 to PS5 players?

13 Answers2025-11-04
So my cousin and I are on different consoles. I’m on PS4 and he is on PS5. I initially searched online to see if the game supported cross-gen and everything that I read stated that it did. So my cousin and I bought the game, downloaded it and we could press invite and join each other’s games instantly. No extra settings, no extra accounts etc.. Just a very simple experience. The game is terrifyingly fun and even more so with someone to share the experience with. My only worry before purchasing the game was that I’m on an older console and that it may hold us back in some way or even cause problems, but no. The only drawback is that my loading screen is slightly longer than my cousin’s, so I am always the last one to join the lobby, but that is about it. So, to answer the question in the title, no there are no cross-gen issues whatsoever.

Can outlast trials crossplay share progression across platforms?

9 Answers2026-07-28
I get giddy talking about co-op horror, so here’s the short, useful version I’d tell a buddy before we queue up: you can usually play with friends across different systems in 'The Outlast Trials' thanks to cross-play support, but your individual progression—like unlocked perks, character levels, and most cosmetics—doesn't automatically follow you if you jump from, say, Steam to a PlayStation account. From what I've dug through patch notes and forums, the multiplayer servers let players mix platforms for matches, which is awesome for finding parties. Progression data tends to be saved to whichever storefront or account you used while playing (Steam, Epic, PSN, Xbox). That means purchases, unlocked items, and local saves are typically tied to that platform. Occasionally there are exceptions for things tied to a publisher account, but Red Barrels hasn't rolled out a fully seamless cross-progression system that moves everything between PC and consoles for most players. If you're planning to switch platforms, consider checking receipts for purchased DLC and be ready to treat the new platform as a fresh start unless the developer explicitly confirms account linking. Personally I love that I can still team up with friends on other machines, even if I have to grind some cosmetics again — the scares are still worth it.

Does Minecraft Legends support crossplay with Switch?

4 Answers2026-06-24
No crossplay issues playing with the switch player here. All good with my buddy last weekend playing on the PC. Only minor complaint is the UI looks a bit cramped on the Switch’s screen for split-screen. But trading that off for portable co-op with friends on other platforms is a fair trade.

No PS5 version of Modern Warfare for now. Brothers in Arms or Sniper Elite 5 will give you similar large scale tactical action. I hope EA announce this at their next showcase.

Can fire tv stick gaming run PS5 remote play?

So, for a few bucks and an hour or so of your time, you can test out the PSPlay app on a spare Fire Stick and see how it works for you. The app is essentially a donation to the developer that is trying to solve this problem. Go in with very low expectations. If it works fantastically, then that is a huge bonus. However, if it does not work as expected, then at least you will have learned something new. However, if you need something that 100% works and causes no headaches, then look at the various official solutions first. The Fire Stick shouldn’t be your primary means of trying to achieve this.

Can you play pirated games on a jailbroken PS5?

2 Answers2026-06-27
The jailbreak rabbit hole for the PS5. I modded a few old consoles a long time ago but this is all new to me. The few jailbreaks out there are really unreliably unstable, and the pirated games you can play through them can be easily bad for your system with malware. The legal team for Sony is reportedly very aggressive, and they have even gone after to sell jailbreaks for the console. Maybe GameFly or wait for a sale instead? Your $500 console is worth more than that to you, I'm sure.

What are the phasmophobia ps5 controls for beginners?

10 Answers2025-10-22
This game is for PS5 so I'm curious how it performs compared to PC. Load times any good? Frame rate holding up in the larger maps such as the high school? The controls are a means to an end and if the game performs well then learning the button combinations is a small price to pay. However, if the game is buggy then no amount of tweaking of controls will make up for it. Does anyone have any info on how the game performs on the PS5? My PC is getting on in years and this game is a great experience on it.

Can I play mount and blade: warband with controllers on PC?

7 Answers2025-08-28
I think it's pretty clear that TaleWorlds did not design Bannerlord with console play in mind. As a PC game from a certain era, everything about Bannerlord – from its deep menus to its conversations displayed in a radial choice list – is just plain better with a mouse and keyboard. Even though I really love this game, I wouldn’t recommend it to a controller-only player. It’s a lot of fighting against the interface to try to defeat Vaegirs. Play Bannerlord the way it was meant to be played: clear some space on that desktop of yours, grab a mouse and get to it!
