The Ascent does not natively support crossplay between all platforms. Here's a breakdown:
- Xbox & PC (Microsoft Store/Xbox App): Crossplay is supported between these platforms. This means players on Xbox consoles (Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S) can play with players on PC if they purchased the game through the Microsoft Store or Xbox App.
- Steam: Crossplay with Steam is unavailable with the Xbox or Playstation versions.
- PlayStation: There is no crossplay between PlayStation versions and other platforms (Xbox or PC).
In Summary:
- Crossplay: Xbox & PC (Microsoft Store/Xbox App)
- No Crossplay: Steam, PlayStation
Why the limitations?
Crossplay implementation often depends on the game developer and the platform holders (Microsoft, Sony, Valve). Technical challenges and platform policies can sometimes restrict crossplay functionality.
Before purchasing or planning to play with friends, confirm which platform they are on to ensure crossplay compatibility.
