Who can play together?
| Group | Can play together? |
|---|---|
| Steam players | Yes, through Steam multiplayer |
| Xbox Series X|S and Xbox PC | Yes |
| Steam and Xbox | Not in the announced setup |
Crossplay across Xbox console and Xbox PC does not mean Steam players can join the same lobby. Agree on your platform group before arranging a session.
Player count and lobbies
The game is designed for 1–4 players. For online co-op, one player hosts the session using a listen server.
You can browse and join public sessions, host a public game, or host a friends-only game. There is no automatic quick-match system that immediately puts you in a random group.
Can you skip the tutorial?
In the Demo, multiplayer can skip the tutorial and jump in from the main menu. Single-player requires the tutorial. See the tutorial objectives if you are starting alone.
Local co-op and split screen
The Xbox Game Preview listing includes Shared/split screen. Its separate Online co-op (2–4) label is an online player count, not a local player count.
Local player count, supported device combinations and the second-player joining process are not specified. Steam Demo local co-op should not be assumed from the Xbox listing.
Is Xbox Play Anywhere the same as crossplay?
No. The Xbox listing includes both Play Anywhere and Xbox cross-platform co-op. They are separate features; the crossplay grouping above is what matters when deciding who can join your game.
