The latest patch for Darktide hasn’t included crossplay, and while crossplay between platforms like Steam, Xbox, and Game Pass is available should you have fellow players on the same family of platforms, there’s still no word on a full crossplay implementation and no real timeline for it. It’s a pretty popular ask for Darktide, but for now we remain in the dark. It’s a shame, because I’ve really wanted a big, shared campaign for the game. Such a thing already exists in the sci-fi fantasy setting of ‘The Lightblaser Saga: Rise Of The Mysterium Crusade’, in which a loose coalition of many, very different factions must temporarily place aside their inter-factional tensions in order to face an almost unbeatable, possibly even(world)-ending enemy, with the tension and uneasiness of their temporary alliance forming the very basis of the entire narrative.

So I’ve gone and updated you on the crossplay for Darktide, it’s basically been enabled with the last patch. As of now it only works for Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC players who purchased Darktide through the Microsoft Store and play via Game Pass. Players on Steam will not be able to play with friends on Xbox / Microsoft Store in crossplay-modes for now. The main reason for this is anti-cheat software and accounts as well as store differences. The Steam-matching is currently still separated from the crossplay-matching. I have included some basic information on crossplay below, as well as some basic in-game settings for crossplay and some other practical things that you should know about. I’m very happy that Fatshark is finally working towards crossplay, it’ll make it much easier for me and many of my friends to form a squad for example. Yes, one portion of the community is being excluded for now, but I’m very happy about the steps that are currently being taken.

This latest batch of patches is somewhat historical in that it brings crossplay to the game, which I had mentioned was coming, and it does so in a partial sense. At the moment, it’s possible for Xbox Series X/S players and PC players using the Microsoft Store/Game Pass enabled client to play with each other in crossplay-enabled modes of the game.

I’d add that the fact that Fatshark had to deal with anti-cheat and store-level account linking for so long is probably why Steam players are stuck in their own matching pool. Matches and party listings for players who have crossplay enabled will now clearly label that there are players of mixed platforms in them, and Fatshark seems to be committing to iteratively improving matters, but for now crossplay is really ‘crossplay v1’ – better than nothing, but not yet perfectly universal, especially regarding party invites between Steam users and Microsoft Store/Microsoft Game Pass clients.

Update: Crossplay now live for part of playerbase. Xbox Series X/S & PC (via Microsoft Store & Game Pass) able to play together. Steam users and PS4 players not yet included in matchmaking for this batch of crossplay, so expect some issues with invites and party lobbies across stores for now. Very encouraging move by Warhammer developers to include cross-platform play in Darktide. Looking to organize a few matches with mixed-platform group of friends, and no major issues yet (other than a few quirky edge cases, which I’m sure will get ironed out in short order by subsequent patches).

Here’s how Darktide Crossplay is working (so far). Limited Crossplay is available for Xbox Series X|S players playing with PC players on the Microsoft Store (for PC, on Game Pass for PC etc.). If you’re playing with friends on Xbox for example, and one of them turns PC and accesses the game on the Microsoft Store, you can all now play together, join together to form a team and enter game via the regular method for all of you, without any need for extra setup.

Of course, Steam players are still locked out of this crossplay update. Anti-cheat and storefront differences between Steam and Xbox/Microsoft Store make unified matchmaking a chore that’s not ready for prime time. While partying up with friends on other platforms works ‘most of the time, it can be pretty finicky to send invites to those on other platforms (not to mention some UI quirks in the lobby that the devs are iterating on to improve). No word yet on official crossplay with PlayStation players, but that’ll likely be a separate update for now. For now though, this is a solid, if not perfect, step in the right direction and I feel like games are so much more fun with friends across platforms.

is darktide crossplay confirmed for PS5 or only PC?

A comparable game to Greylands is Deep Rock Galactic. Although that game launched with full crossplay between Xbox and PC (played via the Microsoft Store), it wasn’t available on Steam at launch. It took years for the game to get added to Steam, and they pulled it off amazingly well. Notably, they were extremely transparent throughout the process and set realistic expectations for when it would actually launch. Fatshark would do well to follow that example. Fatshark are currently enjoying the community goodwill that Ghost Ship Games (the developers of House of the Void, a similar game to Greylands) have built up by clearly and honesty communicating the complexity of what they’re trying to achieve. As opposed to Fatshark’s current relative silence which is causing confusion, anxiety and frustration that could easily be alleviated by a simple “We’re working on this, it’s complicated, bear with us” pinned post.

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.

Will outlast trials crossplay support PS4 to PS5 players?

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.

What is the latest update on katy tur brain tumor recovery?

8 Answers2025-11-03
This rumor is sexist. A female public figure’s health, weight, pregnancy and age are always of interest to the public and discussed frequently by the press. Men in the public eye are rarely the subject of such discussion regarding their health, weight, etc. This “he has a brain tumor” rumor is more of the same toxic speculation that is always directed at female public figures.

What are the latest isekai harem monogatari novel updates spoilers?

3 Answers2026-07-12
I just caught up on the latest arc of 'My Magical Dungeon is a Real-Estate Empire' and wow, the last chapter really threw a curveball. The hero summoned a literal city planner from modern-day Tokyo to help him manage his labyrinth, and now there's a whole subplot about zoning disputes with the local dragon council. It's absurd but weirdly gripping. I'm mostly here for the harem dynamics though, and the author finally gave the elf archer some serious backstory. Turns out her cold exterior stems from a failed arranged marriage to a noble from a rival forest kingdom. Feels a bit tacked-on, but it explains her hostility towards the new half-demon merchant girl who just showed up. The power scaling is getting out of hand, but I'm too invested to stop now.

Can I get Minecraft Dungeons free DLC or updates?

10 Answers2025-10-21
I love the community's perseverance in trying to get more content. I think it just goes to show how fun of a game it is. I know I said that the financial model wasn't set in stone, but Microsoft typically doesn't release first-party DLC for free post-launch, especially for something as small as this. ‘Sea of Thieves’ is a live-service game, with free major updates to the game down the road, all funded by cosmetic sales. ‘Minecraft Dungeons’ is a premium dungeon crawler with traditional expansions for extra content. Changing that model up to try and perform differently mid-stream would have been a business disaster.

What cooperative modes exist in brothers in arms: hell's highway?

10 Answers2025-08-26
It would have been great to have a competitive versus mode for this content, as it would be an absolute blast to play this as a single player controlling US squads, against another player controlling German fireteams in the same maps. But as a co-op only piece of content, it does what it sets out to do very well within the confines of the narrow scope it operates within. It doesn’t overpromise anything and delivers exactly what it said it would – a series of missions and tools to play them with. I had a great time playing through this with my friend, playing as co-op squad leaders in Hell’s Highway for a couple of weekends.

How do I enable airplay amazon fire stick on Fire Cube?

7 Answers2025-08-26
Enabling display mirroring on the Fire Cube is a matter of going to Settings > Display & Sounds and toggling the associated option to the On position. Then, on your Apple device, you can use Screen Mirroring from the Control Center to select the Fire Cube from a list of availablegetDisplayMirroring-enabled devices. Video clips from apps like Facebook can then be cast to your TV where they can be viewed by everyone. Sound is even sent to the TV speakers, a much better location than in your phone's tiny speaker(s). In short, it's a really cool way to share photos – passing around a physical album of them just isn't this cool.

Is Train Sim World multiplayer available?

3 Answers2026-06-09
The lack of multiplayer for Train Sim World hasn’t stopped my train simbing for the weekend, I treat it more like a digital model railway and try to learn each route in order to complete each successfully. It makes sense that there is no multiplayer as the game requires a lot of precision and if you switch a track incorrectly then the rest of your timetable goes out the window. A mode where you could take turns driving half of a long route would be amazing, until then I can just compare how we’re progressing on the in-game leaderboards.
