How do you crossplay with xbox people?

[BleysBlue]

I see all these articles saying you can play Steam with Xbox but I can't figure out how. Anyone figure out how to invite an xbox friend to play?

[RockyVega]

I'd like to know myself, but I'd also like to know if Steam users can cross play with PC Game Pass folks.

[Paronk]

I don't believe you can

[Bodhi]

I am only seen Epic users. Nothing else.

They have to enable crossplay then I don't know beyond that lol. On the Xbox I'd invite someone to a party.. maybe try using the Xbox app on PC and partying up with the person on Xbox and see if you can invite them to the game via that or gamebar?

Xbox can crossplay with everyone, well steam & epic afaik.

*Edit*

Maybe go to start game, find player and check for their name

You have to go into the character select screen then press the button to find players

Beat me to it by 1 second lol.

You can test with my name on Xbox, I'll start an open party. It's d0x360 & I have a party open. It's 6 player... Damn, the Xbox can do 8 wireless controllers so I wonder if you can play with that many people at once locally too.

It just brings up 4 or 5 random peoples games. How do I connect with my friend?

From what I can see it only shows Epic games. Even with Crossplay disabled, it only shows Epic games. Since we can link our Epic accounts I'm getting the vibe Epic might be the backbone for any matchmaking? I hope to hell not.

Xbox app on PC is as usual, a complete dumpster fire POS. This is the 2nd time i've bought a game on there and it doesn't work. I believe Outriders was the other one, that i ended up having to refund and get on steam. Even the xbox support couldn't help. IF i remember correct, they pulled they same greasy/ignorant crap when Gears came to gamepass/xbox app. Basically they rush the console release and disregard communication between microsoft store and xbox app, the interface is terrible, and the lack of development given microsofts budget is astounding. I'm pretty let down, again.

Just to inform everyone. It could be my pc, but I keep getting an error every single time I try to install. Troubleshooting included uninstall reinstall, update, test microsoft user account, nothing worked. Now I know the steam elite users wanna give me doo doo "that's what you get" and yes, to some extent i agree... And i know it's always been trash BUT I have microsoft dollars how else am I gonna use them? I bought it bc it said Xbox pc play anywhere title, and cross platform co op. Now i get to sit here and watch you radical dudes kicking foot and all I got is worthless microsoft bucks. weeee (excuse my vent)

And yes, the title on xbox says XBOX PLAY ANYWHERE and crossplay between console and pc. quoted directly from the xbox site

Playable on
PC
Xbox One
Xbox Series X|S
Xbox local co-op (2-6)
Online co-op (2-6)
Single player
Xbox cross-platform co-op
Xbox achievements
Xbox cloud saves
Xbox Play Anywhere
Xbox Live

'm not in the mood for trolls but go ahead and tell me i'm an idiot for buying microsoft. I'm simply passing on information bc F microsoft, if you wanna play, and were wondering about that, please just save yourself the stress and buy on steam. Or if anyone knows something i'm missing, feel free to tell me. I'm not gonna respond to insults bc i have "banhammer ptsd" from steam discussions lmao.

i just wanted to play turtle...

and a pepsi.

if someone was feeling compassionate and wanted to add me for remote play i'd be very appreciative. I do have it installed on my x1 just fine, but no gold means no online, and that's not what i bought it for! please, let's kick shredder in the cowabungas!:spirallove:

Xbox Play anywhere tends to mean the PC xbox store or gamepass version. It isn't owned or published by microsoft so that doesn't include steam.

Thank you, but I wasn't talking about steam, I don't know how that made you think I thought I owned it on steam, that's not what I meant or said. But i have since deleted the post just in case it violates steam discussion rules bc i'm sick of being banned/locked over minuscule things. I just wanted to let people know the difficulty present in trying to play it on NOT steam, so i was encouraging people to play it ON steam. and also...if they want to remote play they can add me. Thanks for the reply tho

[CMG]

yeah what an idiot haha slurp

[Nova Galaxy]

I'm Also having this issue.
Anytime I want to add my steam friends to play, it only shows my Xbox friends?
do anyone know a way where the game show my steam friends?
and yes my Xbox account is linked to steam, I'm currently playing the game on pc gamepass

The steam version doesn't play with the microsoft store version or the Xbox version.

[CryonicSuspension]

From what I've read, everyone with an Epic account links to the Steam account.

By using Epic's networking, even though Epic doesn't even sell the game, you just kind of piggy back off Epic. It's pretty confusing but that's my takeaway.
