Astroneer crossplay between xbox and steam?

SashaBookstein · Mar 23, 2020

Hi,

Recently a group of friends and I discovered we all had Astroneer. Knowing this, we hastily attempted to try and play with each other, only to find that me, being a Xbox to pc transfer, could not play with any of them. I had realized that steam may not allow
for crossplay being its own entity. I am searching for a possible answer and resolution for this problem.

Awaiting a response.

Yeah it's pretty terrible that the same game, both playing on pc, are limited by where it was purchased. I had to buy it on steam to play with all my steam friends even though I had it on gamepass. Just absolutely horrendous.

steam is very open to crossplay along with microsoft, but in the end its down to the developer.

The only was you can cross play Astroneer with a Xbox user while on PC is if the game was bought via the Microsoft/Xbox store or you have PC game pass. But double check before making the purchase to see if crossplay is compatible that way.

quite a few games are fully crosssplay or crossplay between win10 and steam and epic, depends on the game and the devs.

OP that game is not crossplay though.
