Satisfactory Adds Crossplay Between PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S

Link the account you use on your current platform to an Epic account, and have your friend do the same. The crossplay FAQ says you should be friends on both your current platform and Epic. Your friend’s session should then appear in Join Game. If you need an Epic account, you can create one through the in-game Online Settings menu.

If the session does not appear, check whether your platform privacy settings allow other players to view your profile. The FAQ also suggests fully restarting the console or PC and relaunching the game in some cases. Steam players who only want to play with other Steam users can still choose the Steam backend.

What Crossplay Means for Servers, Mods, and Saves

Dedicated servers remain available only on PC, so a console player cannot use one for crossplay. Because consoles currently do not support mods, a session shared with console players must be unmodded.

Crossplay is not cross-progression. The save stays on the host’s platform, even when friends join from another platform.

Other Changes in the Update

The patch notes also describe an overhaul of gameplay telemetry. A one-time prompt asks whether you want to share gameplay data; you can change that choice later under Gameplay > Send Gameplay Data in Options.

For multiplayer, the notes list potential fixes for problems joining large saves while acknowledging that some cases remain. Changes to vehicle autopilot are intended to reduce slow trailing and path-reservation problems in some situations.
