Online coop have crossplay?

[Voland]

Since online coop is EGS does that mean that its also crossplay with PlayStation?

[Zeforas]

Completely unrelated, sadly.

Nope we only have crossplay with the non-existent player base that is on epic(PC).

Game isn't coming to Epic Store.

It's cross play for PS4, PS5, and Steam users.

There's a link on their site to buy it on the EGS, so I assume it's a regional thing

Game is not in epic store, but require an epic account? This is kinda backward there.

It isn't because EOS is a middleware service, specifically designed to be store and platform agnostic.

The game is available on Epic UK. It’s even 10% cheaper comparing to steam.

since they officially stated that

"Epic Games account for online play due to cross play and online features"

i guess my assumption confirmed

but anyway, i wonder if anyone tried to actually play with PlayStation users

They write in this article that it supports Playstation x PC crossplay:

The sad part is, this whole drama could have been circumvented by having their own account system, and have the storefront/console link their account to EDF account system.

Have an option to say "Enable cross-play with x platform", and let the player manually link their account requirement from whatever storefront or console they want cross-play with. Only then it would install the necessary files or installations require for crossplaying with say storefront or console. Of course a prompt will tell them about it.

not really. ppl in general dislike the idea of req. extra account

tbh login in EGS is easiest among all those Rockstar, Sony, Ubisoft, 2K, Microsoft, EA accounts/launchers

i mean, i hate EGS for exclusives but their system for now is most convinient way for devs to make crossplay. its not their fault that Valve dont have such thing

Why is this literally the only thing online claiming PC-PS crossplay is enabled on EDF6?

EDF not that popular + devs dont care that much. i mean, they even forgot to mention EGS on store page
