Does Remnant 2 support cross-platform play?

Co-op players need to know

Remnant 2 has made waves since releasing in July 2023, and players may be wonder whether crossplay is available.

One of the most endearing aspects of the Remnant franchise is the fact it’s built with co-op play in mind. While players can run through the game solo, you are encouraged to take a friend along and fight all the monstrous bosses together. I found it extremely rewarding to play the first Remnant with a friend, as the game is quite difficult and mirrors a soulslike title.

Of course, it’s much simpler for players to start a co-op game if crossplay is enabled, as this allows friends to play with each other regardless of what system they are using.

Here’s everything we know about crossplay in Remnant 2.

Is crossplay supported in Remnant 2?

Crossplay is not currently supported in Remnant 2, so players on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 will have to play amongst themselves in the game’s three-player co-op options. 

However, developer Gunfire Games plans to release crossplay as an update in the future.

In November 2023, the developer revealed it is in the final stages of developing crossplay, although no details have been provided on when exactly players will be able to join together with those on different platforms—so fans will have to wait.

It could be that crossplay launches in Remnant 2 alongside future DLC. The Awakened King DLC was released on Nov. 14, 2023, and two further DLCs will be launched before Remnant 2 celebrates its first birthday in July 2024.

No official release dates for the two future DLCs have been announced, but with the four-month timeframe between the launch of Remnant 2 and The Awakened King DLC, a similar gap would see the second DLC arrive in March 2024 and the final DLC in July 2024.
