Cross-Play and Party Help

Patch 1.0.1 addressed an Early Access cross-play matchmaking problem: party members now follow their leader into a matchmade lobby instead of being kicked to the main menu or dropped. That confirms a repaired party-leader behavior, not every platform pairing or account rule.

1. Confirm every player has the current game update.
2. Record each player’s storefront and platform.
3. Make one player the party leader, then retry after a full restart.
4. Test one platform pairing at a time.
5. Save the exact error, build, leader, invite path, and result.

The official materials captured for this guide link to Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Epic purchase pages. They do not publish a complete cross-play matrix, cross-progression policy, account requirement, or universal fix for party failures. Mark those as evidence requests rather than support guarantees.

Repeated after restart:

Check Platforms and PC System Requirements for the captured Steam matrix, then add the missing party evidence to the research backlog.

1. Record each platform and storefront, the party leader and each displayed version.
2. Identify the failed stage: invitation, party join or matchmaking transfer.
3. Retry the same pairing once after checking for updates; keep the successful and failed outcomes.
4. Compare the symptom with developer-reported fixes. A listed fix does not prove the symptom is resolved on every platform.

Do not assume cross-play also means cross-progression or that every platform pairing has been tested by this wiki.
