Crossplay

[Kenpachi11]

It says crossplay is a feature in this game but how do you invite friends from other platforms?

[Biggus Dickus]

You cannot invite friends from other platforms. So if you're a pc and your friend is xbox or playstation, you cannot play together

[Dixu]

there is no crossplay

[Xatrion]

There is no crossplay between pc and console. As it should be.

Perhaps you are confusing this game with DarkTide?

Why shouldn't it be? Normally games with crossplay provide an option to disable crossplay. Giving players to option to play with friends on other platforms wouldn't have any impact on your experience of the game. I hope the game gets crossplay some day.

Because the less opportunities given for toxic consolites to pollute the playerbase, the better. Also, we'd have to play the gimped version of the game with less enemies to make up for consoles shortcomings.

If people are toxic consolites in your eyes because they play on different hardware, you can just disable crossplay and don't worry about it.

And you're making assumptions that we would have to play the gimped console version, that'd seem stupid of them to do, they could bring the pc version to newer consoles.

You are grossly uninformed. It's not me who's making the assumptions here. Let me bullet point a few glaring flaws with yours.

• Take Darktide for example, a newer game by the same dev. Crossplay is not only enabled, but forced for the pc community. There is no option to turn it off. The likelihood that, were crossplay to be introduced to V2 (which it won't, thankfully) that we'd be able to turn it off is nil.
  
  
• "They could bring the pc version to newer consoles"? Do you not understand why this doesn't work? Consoles run on inferior hardware. Inferior hardware can't handle V2 at it's prime, so to compensate, enemies are given more hp with the added tradeoff that there are significantly less of them. Hence, pc players would be forced to play the gimped high hp, low density version.
  
  
• Which leads us to the fact that the game is seven years old. It's not going to happen. It's not as simple as throwing a switch and crossplay is enabled. No. There's a lot of effort, coding, balancing, and manhours that would have to go into such a thing when there isn't enough interest or players on either side of the aisle to warrant such a thing. Priorities. Darktide, and with any luck, a future endeavor, are their main focus now.

And this is not pc fanboyism, consolite toxicity notwithstanding. These are facts. Crossplay is not happening. End of story. Good day.

I mean ok, if Darktide doesn't have an option to disable crossplay, Vermintide wouldn't be able to have one, makes sense.

"Consoles run on inferior hardware."
"newer consoles"
"NEWER consoles"
read pls

In toxicity both are the same. Im just not a big fan of Gamepads. I would not trust a Gamepad Waystalker to kill those pesky specials quick under pressure. Dont say Aim Assist! There is a reason why "a-ss" is in the word "assist". Take a look at the word assassin and you know this is no coincidence.

Only toxicity I see is coming from PC players right now...
