No crossplay between xbox game pass and steam versions?

[Hunlor]

Would be really stupid of them to not do crossplay between those, they wouldn't do that... RIght?

Alright, I think we can conclude that by the third thread people are just trolling

Just answer bro, i don't want to scroll the entire deep rock forum neither read the 6 pages of people discussing and not answering the question like the one on first page.

[Ser Pounce]

Ah yes. Trolling hard I see. So the other OP really didn't have anything else to do I guess.

Crossplay is too expensive so only big developers (like Capcom or Epic) can afford it.

Do a lot of games on xbox game pass have crossplay with steam versions?

Here you go, the devs responses to crossplay compiled (by someone else, not me)

The devs really should add crossplay already.

It's not as simple as just checking the "crossplay" box.

Technical - Crossplay Cross-compatibility No plans currently; it's not as simple as it sounds, plus there are version differences and implications for their pipeline 16.12.2021 Dev Stream 16.12.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between XBox and PS Not likely, it's very complicated, expensive, and not something you can squeeze into a game that's already made 02.12.2021 Dev Stream 02.12.2021

Technical - Crossplay Cross-platform Not currently, it's not that simple a task 19.11.2021 Dev Stream 19.11.2021

Technical - Crossplay Cross-platform compatibility No plans 04.11.2021 Dev Stream 04.11.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and GamePass No plans 04.11.2021 Dev Stream 04.11.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and XBox No plans, it's too big of a task 04.11.2021 Dev Stream 04.11.2021

Technical - Crossplay GamePass/XBox/Steam crossplay It's too big a task and there are no plans to do it 04.11.2021 Dev Stream 04.11.2021

Technical - Crossplay Xbox & Steam crossplay Sadly not planned 26.10.2021 Dev Stream 26.10.2021

Technical - Crossplay Steam/XBox crossplay Not currently planned 21.10.2021 Dev Stream 21.10.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and MS store Possible, but involves many things that are hard to do, so they're not working on right now (and it changes the development process, too) 27.08.2021 Dev Stream 27.08.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between the Steam and the MS versions Not in the pipeline; it's something they'd like to do but don't really have the resources to do 05.08.2021 Dev Stream 05.08.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between the MS and Steam versions Possible, but difficult to do for a number of reasons, so it's not on the roadmap 27.05.2021 Dev Stream 27.05.2021

Technical - Crossplay Cross-platform lobbies Probably not possible in the near future (they would've done it already if they could) 22.04.2021 Dev Stream 22.04.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and Microsoft Store They would do it if they could, but it's not currently in the plans 18.02.2021 Dev Stream 18.02.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and XBox/GamePass The reason it's not in yet is those ecosystems have completely different server back-ends that don't play nice with each other 18.02.2021 Dev Stream 18.02.2021

Technical - Crossplay Steam/console crossplay No plans at the moment 15.01.2021 Dev Stream 15.01.2021

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and XBox Game Pass The two platforms have different back-ends that are not easy to bridge 04.12.2020 Dev Stream 04.12.2020

Technical - Crossplay Steam/XBox crossplay like in Sea of Thieves Not as easy as it sounds, Steam & XBox use different back-ends, crossplay would also require changing the development pipeline 03.12.2020 Dev Stream 03.12.2020

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and Microsoft Store Sorry, it's very hard to implement; Steam's and Microsoft's back-end architectures don't work with each other very well 26.11.2020 Dev Stream 26.11.2020

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay Not planned beyond what is already supported - not because they don't want to, but because it's very tricky 12.11.2020 Dev Stream 12.11.2020

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay between Steam and Xbox Possible, but also not an easy thing to do 12.11.2020 Dev Stream 12.11.2020

Technical - Crossplay Crossplay There is between the Windows Store and XBox, no plans for those and Steam 05.11.2020 Dev Stream 05.11.2020

Technical - Crossplay PC-console crossplay There is between the Windows Store and XBox, but no plans beyond that (it's complicated) 22.10.2020 Dev Stream 22.10.2020

So it'd be quite stupid to expect that this specific game does then, right?

The only one I know of is Halo, but I'm not completely certain on that, and it isn't really relevant since Halo is a microsoft game, so it uses Microsoft's backend even on steam

[Hunlor]

That's a big bummer on their part

Forza has it too apparently, but again, I assume the situation is the same as with Halo.

You don't own the game on Steam so why would you care?

If crossplay with Xbox is important to you, buy it on Windows store.
