where are you seeing that? the only instance i could find using the term "cross" is in the reviews. This has never been cross platform (xbox and steam that is). i think you can cross play windows and xbox through a 3rd party server.

Cross platform .. and cross platform play are different things.

The game is available on multiple platforms.

The cross platform play is only with those on epic games. There are countless threads discussing this already in depth.

Steam version can crossplay with Epic Games version, but only on a dedicated server (no non-dedicated sessions) and without mods, as Epic can't access the Steam Workshop.

Windows 10 Store version can crossplay with Xbox version.

PS4 and Switch versions cannot crossplay with anyone.

This is not the fault of the devs, as they say they have them working together in their studio. Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are the ones who refuse to permit them to release it.

OP you're overreacting. They didn't put words in your mouth. They're simply expanding upon the issue at hand and explaining the background.

I apologise if I upset you, that was not my intent. I know you did not say anywhere that you blamed the devs for it. As Zerassar said, I was merely explaining the situation and the cause of it in more detail so it could be clear to all.

It is true that when the crossplay issues have been explained to others in the past, some have replied that it must be the devs' fault, so when it comes up now I do mention that in advance just to preempt that frequent response. But I wasn't meaning to insinuate anything specific in your own post, and I'm sorry if it came across that way.

water under the bridge i just hate when people like my misses end up putting words in my mouth. to summon it up i speak my mind im blunt and honest and dont beat aroudn the bush. so when this happens it rather fking annoys me. its a shame my son is gutted have you ever seen an 11 year old just wanting to play video games with his dad that finally he found something and then to find out after we both brought the game set his console in my office so he could sit in the same room as me to then find out no fair we cant play it together. that kid is wounded

[zerassar]

What console is he on?

If it's xbox... Were you to get a copy of the game via the Windows Store... You'd be able to play with him.

Just not using your steam copy.

I would like to add or ask, was it this game ARK Survivor Evolved or ARK Survivor Ascended that you were reading about and checking out on YouTube ?

Although they are both the same game, ASA is the remake version of this one here ASE.
ASA is the one that is crossplay/cross platform. Very possible it was that one you were looking for ?

If not, depending of the version your Son has, he maybe able to play with you still like they mentioned above.

Best of luck, hopefully you guys will be able to play together.

no i got one on here for 35 quid i dont have windows store on my pc ive disabled and removed it and i dont intend to reinstall windows just to get it back again just for a game. it would mean refunding through steam and waiting for a refund. thank you for the suggestion mind you i do appreciate it
