No Steam/Game pass cross play?

[Blahsum]

Tried to introduce Wreckfest to a friend last night. Turns out that Gamepass players can't access Steam servers.

Were the developers drinking when they made this decision?

Wait, really!? I just started playing and I got the gamepass version :(

Yup no crossplay yet between all the different PC version of Wreckfest.

Bugbear was trying to make this happen last year, but ran into a major snag!

" It's been a while but today we're releasing a minor update today that paves way for some exciting things. In the not-so-distant future, everyone who owns any of the PC versions of Wreckfest available at different platforms such as Steam, Epic, Xbox Game Pass and GOG will be able to join the same multiplayer servers and play online together! That time is not just yet, but today we're releasing an update that contains the technical, behind-the-scenes work that will make it possible soon. This work naturally affects multiplayer functionality, and while we don't expect any issues please don't hesitate to let us know in case you spot any oddities. "

With Epic version of Wreckfest, you see servers online to join? Would think online pretty slow.

With Steam version of Wreckfest, there usually plenty of servers to join. But Steam WF servers should not show up on on Epic WF server list? Or am I wrong 7ukester?

Bugbear was trying to make all versions of PC Wreckfest compatible online this last year with a new update, but run into an issue! From Wreckfest discord: https://discord.gg/wreckfest

Any word on what happening with PC Wreckfest update that was going to make all versions of PC WF compatible online? (edited)

The update is still in the pipeline but it has been delayed for reasons beyond our control and I'm sorry to say that's all I know.

Just crossplay for the Steam, GOG, and Epic PC version of Wreckfest.

Ask Microsoft, it's primarily on them and not Bugbear that the Game Pass version is an outdated build.
