Cross play?

[Zenfier]

Hello, my gf wants to play this with me, but she has a PlayStation 5. I know I saw that xbox and pc players can play the game together, but I didn't see anything about it as far as PlayStation.

Thanks!

Only Xbox and Windows store players can play together, because they are both on Xbox Live.

Steam and PS5 do not have any crossplay with any other online service, since DRG is a P2P game.

That super sucks, is there any information of maybe cross play being expanded?

"- High maintenance cost (new hire, servers, etc)

- Needing to rewrite the whole network for the game, to switch from the current model to a new one. Which would take a very long time.

- Basically downgrading the Steam version to match other versions.

- Not entirely sure what would happen to modding but you can bet it would be massively affected, most likely in a bad way.

- Also needs Sony, Steam and Microsoft to agree with it."

If they implemented the networking as a DLL and just packaged it with the steam version. I'd take running DRG with a cli option. They support both steam, Xbox. I would think that there's no way that abstraction doesn't exist, purely from a maintenance perspective.

Haven't played much, but some family have game pass and I'm like ☹️

No cross play but you can always cross dress with your gf.

With the caveat that you'd need an exceptionally powerful rig to run two copies of the game, especially the CPU.

Unless it can run each on it's own core or thread? I wouldn't know to be honest.

Actually that doesn't sound impossible. I've run halo MCC on my current set up a few times to play it with my gf split screen style, so this doesn't sound impossible with a lower intensity game like this.

DRG is less GPU intensive than MMC, but way more CPU intensive.

The CPU is already a bottleneck even for high end systems running a single copy.
