Is Mistfall Hunter Crossplay?

Yes. Mistfall Hunter ships with full cross-platform multiplayer between PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. Developer Bellring Games confirmed it directly in a pre-launch interview with GamingBolt: “Full cross-play is supported across PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, and Xbox on PC,” adding that “everyone plays together.” Guide coverage from GameRant and All Things How reaches the same conclusion, and the Xbox Store listing carries both “Xbox cross-platform multiplayer” and “Xbox cross-platform co-op” capability tags.

Which Platforms Are Connected by Crossplay?

All three platforms the game launched on share one player pool:

  • PC — via Steam, plus the Xbox app on Windows (Xbox on PC).
  • PlayStation 5 — including PS5 Pro.
  • Xbox Series X|S — the console versions.

In practice this means a Steam player, a PS5 player, and an Xbox player can drop into the same run together. Push Square’s coverage of the June 2026 open beta noted that the beta already “supports full cross-play” ahead of launch.

How to Play With Friends on Another Platform

The feature works through an in-game friends system rather than platform-native invites. Per GameRant’s crossplay guide, you unlock it early but not immediately:

  1. Finish the tutorial and extract from the intro area.
  2. Complete your first solo run of Hallowgrove, then return to the Hub.
  3. Open the Friends panel from the box in the top-left corner of the screen.
  4. Search for your friend by their Player ID or nickname, send a friend request, and invite them to your party once accepted.

The in-game ID is separate from your Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation ID, which is what makes cross-platform invites possible. Parties hold up to three players. If you want to stay a duo, leave the Fill Party option disabled so the game does not match a third player — though you can still run into full trios in the wild.

Crossplay vs. Cross-Progression: What Carries Over?

Crossplay and cross-progression are different systems in Mistfall Hunter:

  • Xbox console and Xbox on PC share progress with each other through Xbox Play Anywhere. Purchases, saves, and achievements carry between the two.
  • Steam and PlayStation 5 do not currently support cross-progression. Bellring Games stated in the same GamingBolt interview that “the other platforms do not currently support cross-progression,” and All Things How’s guide explains the same: your characters, loot, camp upgrades, and unlocked cosmetics stay tied to the platform where you earned them.

So you can squad up with a friend on any platform, but switching platforms yourself means starting a fresh account unless you stay inside the Xbox ecosystem.

One more boundary: crossplay matches happen on a shared server, but cross-region play is not supported. Your team needs to share your region, so check our region lock guide if matchmaking with friends in other regions is a concern.

Why Crossplay Matters for This Game

Because Mistfall Hunter is a PvPvE extraction ARPG rather than a solo experience, the size of the shared player pool directly affects how the game feels. A single cross-platform population means fuller lobbies, faster matchmaking, and more squads to run into while you loot and fight in maps like Hallowgrove. The developer has said as much: in the GamingBolt interview, Bellring Games cited community size and matchmaking pool quality as core reasons it wanted everyone playing together from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PC and PS5 players play together? Yes. Crossplay is fully supported between Steam, PS5, and Xbox. The caveat is that progress does not carry between those platforms.

Can Xbox Game Pass players play with Steam and PS5 players? Yes. The Xbox console and Xbox on PC versions are part of the same crossplay pool as Steam and PS5.

Is crossplay automatic? Yes, lobbies are shared across platforms. To squad up with a specific friend on another platform, use the in-game Friends menu with their Player ID.

Does crossplay mean my save transfers between platforms? Only between Xbox console and Xbox on PC (via Xbox Play Anywhere). Steam and PS5 saves do not transfer.
