Hello Survivors!

Today we are making our V1.2 Crossplay patch available to every platform.
Players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC can now enjoy cross-platform gameplay.

Please note: The Xbox and Microsoft PC Store versions are taking a little longer than expected to pass certification. We don’t expect any issues and hope to release them as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding—we’re excited for everyone to jump into the update soon!

For cross-platform games to show in the server browser:
Console: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: On
PC: Set the option General>Crossplay Enabled: On, but it also requires EAC Protected set to On
Maximum supported player count for crossplay is 8 and world size of 8192.

We always encourage a new save with every update, but we do not expect any issues continuing older save games. Enabling crossplay for those older save games should be safe as well.
