Deep Rock Galactic is a must-have for online FPS shenanigans, but is the game available in crossplay? Here’s all you need to know about playing with your friends across multiple systems.

Ghost Ship Games delivered one of the most interesting multiplayer experiences when Deep Rock Galactic launched back in 2020, and new players are discovering the game every day. In this vibrant FPS, players take on the role of a Dwarf miner and are tasked with exploring procedurally generated caves to mine important resources and battle swarms of alien bugs.

You can play the game solo by undertaking missions alongside a helpful little robot named Bosco, but Deep Rock Galactic is at its best as a multiplayer experience where you team up with three others to enter the caves, with each of you taking on a different role for the mission.

With the game being available on most platforms, you may be wondering if it supports cross-platform play, after all being able to play with friends no matter the device is extremely handy.

With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about crossplay in Deep Rock Galactic.

Is Deep Rock Galactic cross-platform?

At the time of writing, Deep Rock Galactic currently only supports crossplay for Xbox Series S/X, Xbox One, and PC via Windows. This means players using any of these devices can enjoy cross-platform features and play with their friends.

Although the game is also on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam, unfortunately, crossplay is not available for any of these at the moment. There’s a chance the feature will be rolled out across the PlayStation consoles and the Steam version of the game in the future, however, the developers haven’t provided any indication of when this may happen.
