Shared screen is not a crossplay promise
Steam combines shared-screen and split-screen co-op under one category. That category alone does not establish simultaneous split-screen play. Likewise, online co-op does not prove cross-platform matchmaking or a free friend pass.
Prepare the session
- Check the current page for every participant’s platform.
- Update the game and confirm the intended mode appears in your version.
- Review purchase, account and subscription requirements before inviting friends.
- Use the actual on-screen controls for assigning characters and starting the session.
The October 2026 online update
On 19 October 2026 Supermassive released a free update adding online multiplayer to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam versions. Up to five players can connect from separate locations, and each player must own their own copy of the game. There is no friend pass.
- Custom Mode — the traditional couch co-op experience, brought online.
- Round Robin Mode — control passes between players at set intervals.
- Choice Voting — the group sees who voted for what, then follows the majority or breaks ranks.
- No crossplay has been announced: the release describes up to five players but makes no cross-platform claim.
