The shooter Remnant 2, developed by Gunfire Games, is now officially compatible with PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S systems for Remnant 2 Crossplay-platform play. Released on February 29, 2024, Patch 408,516 brought the much-needed functionality to the game: multiplayer gameplay across preferred gaming platforms.
Moving forward, cross-play will be the default setting on consoles, and the developers have made note of the fact that users will not be able to view lobbies made by players who have disabled the feature. The developer suggested, “Check that you have matching Crossplay settings if you can’t see a friend’s game in-game.”
During the Aberration Domination event in Remnant 2, players can gather Corrupted Shards, a type of item that can be exchanged for corrupted versions of special weapons, until March 5, 2024.
Does Remnant 2 Support Crossplay?
Unfortunately, Remnant 2 does not support crossplay. However, based on recent reports, it appears that the developers are eager to add this crucial feature. We are only able to wait for more details from Gunfire Games. Although disappointing, the lack of crossplay in RPGs like this is not unheard of. It’s not usually a priority because so many players use the same platform to play alone or with friends. For more information, see our Elden Ring crossplay guide.
