Meeting up / Crossplay
Crossplay works—version numbers still matter
The official FAQ confirms crossplay across the supported systems. A group can mix platforms as long as the first two numbers of every installed version match.
What the official guidance confirms
- Supported releases include Windows and Mac via Steam, Mac App Store, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
- For a version such as 1.2.3, only 1.2 needs to match across the group; the third number may differ.
- The host still needs to load first, even in a mixed-platform group.
- Use a join code when platform friend discovery is unavailable or unreliable.
