Deep Rock Galactic, a top-tier cooperative first-person shooter, distinguishes itself with its innovative blend of mining and intense bug-fighting action, echoing the renowned Left 4 Dead series. The much-anticipated crossplay functionality, a feature fans have been looking forward to since the game’s early access days, now enables players to take on the roles of daring space dwarves with players on different platforms.
The upcoming integration of cross-platform support in Deep Rock Galactic is set to unify the player base, especially in light of the game’s release on PS4 and PS5 back in January 2022. This feature is expected to expedite the matchmaking process, further improving speed and allowing players on PC and Xbox to team up. PS5 players can only play with PS4 players…
Deep Rock Galactic Crossplay Support
The game’s third season saw many new miners hop on board, and the inclusion of crossplay would make it easier for players whose friends don’t game on the same platform to stick together.
Unfortunately, Deep Rock Galactic crossplay is only available in a limited capacity at the moment, helping Xbox One and PC users who purchased the game’s Windows 10 Store version play together.
This means that if you have the title on Steam, you won’t be able to play alongside users outside of Valve’s storefront. Similarly, Xbox and Windows 10 Store users won’t be able to party up with players on different platforms.
Developer Ghost Ship Games has reiterated the fact that Deep Rock Galactic does not feature cross-platform support in the full traditional sense in a blog post, saying that “the console launch will not include cross-play between Playstation and Steam or Xbox, but will support cross-generation play between PS4 and PS5.”
The team is “looking into solutions on how to implement this,” but chose to not promise anything, and there’s been no word on this since season 2.
We’ll keep an eye out and update this article as soon as we learn anything new regarding Deep Rock Galactic crossplay.
