There is no true Crossplay between Switch and PC. Switch pretty much does not have a true multiplayer function. The best that can happen is someone on PC can visit the other player base on Switch.

The Switch version has the Anomaly, but when you go there it is not populated by other players.

It kind of sucks, I bought NMS on Switch for my son and I to play. I learned the hard way, that he can not interact with anyone on Switch. I am on PC.

I'm in the same situation as you but with my roommate. And I even bought the switch version thinking I could play with it.
Thank you for your very clear answer.

What I don't understand is why cross-save between PC and console will soon be available but not cross-platform. it therefore implies a similar structure between the two. Each recent update is deployed at the same time on all platforms including the switch. They could have authorized multiplayer between switch players.

si has leído el articulo, les consta que la mayoria de jugadores, "no juegan multijugador", por tanto no es una prioridad, pero "SI", se implementara en el futuro.
Los principales enemigos del modo multijugador son los jugadores.

The Switch's hardware is too weak to handle NMS multiplayer in general. That's why I bought NMS on Steam after I played it on Switch.
