Playing Loftia with friends: servers, solo progress and cross-play

Quick answer

Loftia is out in Early Access. Friends must be on the same server, and you can switch servers to join them. Internet is required even solo. Cross-play is not promised; Switch is planned for 2027.

Before you start

  • Official FAQ guidance, checked November 4, 2026. The exact friend-invite and server-switch menus are not verified here.

October 21–24 demo fixes

The October 23 demo patch fixes group neighborhood travel repeatedly failing or returning players to login. Login retries temporary connection failures and gives clearer messages for Steam being offline or unavailable. Kingy has not tested a join or reconnect.

The October 24 patch fixes your own chat messages sometimes showing blank, especially in Adventures. It also adds another fix for getting stuck on Adventure antennas, opens blocked exits in some lake-biome Adventure gauntlets and improves respawning after falling off an Adventure island. Kingy has not tested these.

Agree on the session before planning a shared island

These are Kingy's preparation checks. Exact controls and party capacity remain unconfirmed; a tested menu route needs launch evidence.

  1. Confirm that each person plans to use a supported launch platform and can be online.
  2. In game, check the current server and friend-invite instructions together.
  3. Confirm that you can see each other in the same game space before planning a shared activity.
  4. If you cannot meet, record the platform, server and error rather than assuming that an invitation guarantees a shared instance.

Solo play still uses the online world

The FAQ says playing alone does not block your progress and solo players can reach nearly all content. It also says there is no limit on how many friends you play with; you only share a world with players on the same server.

Cross-play is being researched but not promised, and each platform needs its own purchase. Check that everyone is on the same platform before organizing a session.
