Cross play… am I too late? Or too early?

[vonmarshall]

Hi
I have been playing NMS on and off since launch and recently downloaded onto my PS5.

I read all about cross play and have just bought the game on Steam to play on my Mac.

Whilst going through the process of linking the accounts and setting up a Twitch account, I have run into a problem.

After clicking “Enable Cross Save” on my PSN I get a message saying “Platform successfully connected. The cross-save beta is currently full. More spaces will become available soon.”

Any thoughts? How soon? Tomorrow? Next week? Next year?? If it is a while I will try to refund the game on Steam I think and just stick to PS5.

No one knows other than HG and they don't generally tell us...anything...until it is about to happen. So your guess is just as good as anyone else's who will reply to this.

I've seen one or two people say they eventually had success in joining the beta test by attempting to Enable Cross Save every day when starting up the game...

My guess is that it checks if there are available spaces when you enable it. Either there is a space or not. If there is no space available then you don't get added to a wait list. You just have to try again later. ...I could be wrong in this assumption though

Either way, it's still in beta testing, so there are likely still bugs that need fixing... I wouldn't be in a rush to join unless you've got your files backed up somewhere.

If it helps, I successfully enabled mine at 5:30 am US east on a Friday a week and a half ago. I had a couple of issues that I don't want to risk my saves with, so not actively using it. I did get my ps5 save copied to steam and vice versa, but have reverted both originating sides to prior to uploading and removing from the cloud. I have messed around with the cloned save but don't plan on trying to resync them till later on when the feature matures.

I had some issues with previous expedition rewards being marked as claimed even though they weren't - reported to hello games zendesk.

The other issue I had was on the expedition when I tried to make progress with the synced save on steam and ps5. while still on phase 1 on both platforms, it awarded me credit for every rendezvous even though I had never visited any of the systems with the waypoint. This made it impossible to know where to go, so I disabled the cloud save, and reverted to my own backup from steam and finished the expedition on steam. (Note: I had previous completed the expedition on PS5 on the save that had been shared to the cloud)

Thanks for the info. Will probably sit it out then until the beta trial is completed
