Game Pass Cross-Platform

[OG#dozdemiroglu]

i know steam and epic can play cross play, but can pc xbox game pass owners also play with steam players?

Edit 7/12/2023 --> Currently no cross-play between game pass and steam/epic but i read smth in internet about pc game pass players and xbox players can play with each others.

New Edit 30/12/2023 --> As many people stated in other forums (also under this topic), PC game pass users and Steam and Epic users can play with each others. No matter which platform you play on PC, you can play with your friends on other PC platforms as long as you match your Epic account with your Remnant account. (I haven't tested the game pass myself, but since many players have stated that they can do this, I accept it as true) but be careful about game versions. Sometimes there is some version mismatch between platforms.

Does Remnant 2 finally have crossplay now that it's on Game Pass on PC?

No it doesn't. That link is misinformation.

Now I need proof that this is not working, a video or something, not a statement just simply nonsense. A proper concrete proof.

you can link your steam account With your epic account and play together … but game pass and epic or steam dosen’t work … sorry for your third guy….

Steam and EPIC seems to work somehow but we can't logically find any clear reason on why one can and the other not. Anyway. Its funny hjow technology has gone so far and yet people can't play together online a game because they bought on different stores.

different stores.

Man, you are just... almost there..

Epic and Steam can play together. Xbox Gamepass isn't allowed. Wonder what could have happened here.

You 100% absolutely can play crossplay between Steam and PC GamePass, it's just not obvious how to do it; I'm copying my own words from a separate post below.

*as long as everyone playing together has Epic linked to Game Pass/Steam (whichever each person is playing on), and has both apps open (Epic & either Steam/GamePass) while doing crossplay, you can definitely play together. Shift+F3 should bring up the Epic overlay, as long as other open programs aren't using the function already.*

What part is misinformation? I myself (GamePass subscriber) have played hours and hours on several different characters with 4 different Steam friends in several different sessions. As long as all players have an Epic account which is linked to the platform they have Remnant 2 on (Steam/GamePass), and have both apps open while playing, it should work. Also, players need to be added and invited through the Epic overlay (Shift+F3). I will say, it's not perfect and sometimes it seems like the Invite/Join buttons won't show up on a friends profile, but it definitely works.

Any other possible work around?
steam friend has linked steam,egs and xbox account
same for myself.
I've got it on gamepass, he has it on steam. Cant inv/join

His EGS overlay works mine does not

Ive uninstalled both the EGS/ Remnant 2 and nothing same for him. Both unlinked/linked all account and nothing,

Tried running the 64bit version as admin nothing so not sure what is going on or why we cant join each other

Any one know if what echohead said is true? Pretty sure dudes on crack.

Guys i think something might help you out is when the OVERLAY of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ EPICshitstore doesn't work it has something to do with the nvidia overlay and they don't work togheter. After so many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours of discussion and searching and emails with the support he (my friend with the gamepass+EGS linked) uninstalled some overlay related to the video card and it worked, and now were playing it togheter.
I know its quite vague but that might be some lead and get a final more straight answer.

I wonder if this is why I get the message "There is a known issue with RivaTuner (included with MSI Afterburner) and Remnant 2." when I boot up the game. If you have RivaTuner running it conflicts with the Epic overlay? Maybe.

It doesn't affect me through the PC Xbox App playing with the friends on Xbox. We all own the game through the Xbox store, so we're not using game pass. I cannot vouch for any PC Xbox App to Epic/Steam cross compatibility though.

Just an FYI that this (allegedly) isn't fully supported by the devs. Specifically using linked Epic accounts to connect Steam and GamePass players.

It DOES work on and off. I've connected to a couple sessions with one group of friends but now I just get Network Connection Failed errors constantly with them, and new friends who are playing on Steam. GamePass to GamePass works a-okay. Had a friend who had both the GamePass and Steam versions installed (forgot to clean up) and GamePass worked flawlessly while the Steam client couldn't connect either way.

What i Figured out is that you can Play Steam and Xbox via linked Epic Accounts but it only works if the Game Versions are the Same, Xbox tend to have a more Delayed Update Schedule then Steam or Epic Games. So if the Game Versions are Different you will get the Connection Lost Message. So basically the Game finds the Session pretty fast but is unable to Join because of the Different Game Versions. so you will get that Message because the Devs did not have the need to put a "Version Mismatch" Message because this Crossplay Method is not fully supported by the Devs. lets just hope that xbox updates will come faster because this sucks x)
