Over the hill crossplay: confirmed plans and current limits

To play together now, organise a Steam session using the multiplayer guide. Crossplay is a developer plan and the Xbox listing advertises cross-platform co-op, but those statements do not establish a working Steam-to-console session before the announced 2027 console release.

Quick guide

Steam is released; consoles announced for 2027.

  1. Both on Steam: use room name/region or the session code.
  2. One on a console: wait for that version’s release and its supported platform pairings.
  3. For shared saves or ownership, check the named store ecosystem separately.

Your groupNext step
Steam + SteamJoin through Multiplayer; each player completes their own checkpoint.
Steam + PS5 / Xbox / Switch 2Do not schedule a confirmed cross-platform session from the FAQ alone. The console releases and pairings still matter.
Xbox ecosystem ownership / savesRead the Xbox listing’s Play Anywhere and cloud-save conditions; they do not establish Steam ownership or save transfer.

Separate crossplay, cross-save and a second copy

Crossplay concerns playing in the same session. Cross-save concerns moving progress, and shared ownership concerns which store grants a copy. The Xbox listing names Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves; that does not mean a Steam purchase grants the Xbox version.

Sources & version notes

Developer FAQ says crossplay is planned. Xbox store lists cross-platform co-op, Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves. No tested released Steam/console pairing or Steam cross-save process was found.

Release-era sources reviewed on October 15, 2026. Older FAQ plans are distinguished from current launch information; editorial advice is not a claim of hands-on testing.
