Cross platform?

[Zeruca]

Is the multiplayer cross platform or are you only able to play with the platform you buy this on?

Thank you for Linux support. Purchased.

I know it can be hard to get the "x-platform" out, but I bet if you just did so, it would help the online comminty for your game later on. It's gonna be easier to find ppl, and so on. I really do hope that you implement x-platform. Like I mean, I've got a ps4 and a PC but my friends only uses Nintendo Switch... It would have been nice, and even a neat thing to play with them. :)

Apologies for the confusion, pb - PC, OSX and Linux users will be able to play together.

But all other platforms will not have cross-platform play. So for example, PS4 and Xbox will not be cross-compatible, and PS4 and Steam will not be cross compatible, and so on and so forth.

Cross platform play is not something we're working on right now. If this changes, we'll post an official announcement on our channels.

You mean its something you worked on to prevent. By default a server has no idea what kind of machine a network packet is being sent from. Don't excuse microsoft and sony anti-consumer/dev policies.

What? You're ignorant fam.

And your experiance making video games is? In order for a sever to recognize a packet is from a certain platform you must code the client to write it's plaform to the packet, and the server to read it. This is not some miracle that just happens when you start working on the networking for a game.

aren't xbox and psn servers private thoe and allowing access to third parties without their consent against the terms of service?

Always assumed they had their own servers since ppl gotta pay for access.

can't be bothered to argue i'm just curious.

It's all controlled. It's the reason why some games won't work for crossplay with Nintendo Switch or PS4. Because Nintendo and Sony don't allow that kind of access.

Its how they can enforce thier anti consumer policies. But the software still needs added to to handle "seperating" the game.

No plans for cross-platform capability at launch, but we're not ruling it out for the future.

So if you say you're not ruling it out, the same way you did not rule out Multiplayer for Overcooked, that means you're considering cross-platform for Overcooked 3 only ?

I had to wait 15-20 minutes to find a game this morning... Cross platform would definately help with that.

#27 Bob Loblaw Yes exactly, It would be much easier to find a game if they had x-platform. From my understandnings, there is no "wall". I've red a lot 'bout X-platform recently, and it should be pretty easy for them. This just forces people to buy the game multiple times for different platforms. If you wanna play with certain people.

I really really wish they just add X-platform.
1. for the Q times.
2. for availability
3. for the good sake.

Would be great to play from nintendo switch with my steam friends =)

Agreed @meatball ; I was ready to buy a physical copy of the game tomorrow for Nintendo Switch but knowing I can't play with my Steam friends makes my excitement fizzle. One of the most interesting things happening in gaming right now is the interplay between the various platforms online services: developers like Epic and Psyonix blazing rocket trails Still seems like a fun game though –maybe team17 will start exploring it?

[mistle]

I too wish there is cross platform. Or heck, even giving free keys to all platforms upon a single purchase so we don't have to buy multiple copies to play with friends using different platforms.

Word to the devs, I'd happily pay $5 - $10 for an update adding cross-play. I started with Overcooked on Xbox, but I'd love to be able to have a portable version on my Switch instead.
