Coffee Stain Studios has hit a major milestone in its alien planet industrialization sandbox, Satisfactory, as crossplay between consoles and PC was introduced in a new update. Now PC players on Steam and Epic Games Store, and console players on PS5 and Xbox, can all play with each other in the game’s co-op.

Coffee Stain announced the crossplay update for Satisfactory in a Steam developer blog with a FAQ page to support its release.

The system uses Epic Games to support interconnectivity between PC and consoles, so you’ll need an Epic Games account to run multiplayer sessions that include PS5 and Xbox (TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge also worked this way). There are also new options on Steam to run the game solely with other Steam players if you want. An Epic Games account will not be required to play Satisfactory in its single-player modes (unless playing on Epic Games Store, of course).
