The cooperative shooter from Arkane Studios in an open world redfall will feature full cross-play across platforms and wherever you purchase it, the developer confirmed Monday. In a tweet from the official redfall billthe studio clarified that players on Windows PC and Xbox Series X will be able to play with each other regardless of where they made their purchase: Steam, the Epic Games Store, or through a Game Pass subscription.
That’s more clarity than Arkane gave in February, through a Discord Q&Awhen redfall developers said “you can definitely play with your friends on Steam friends on Game Pass.” Monday’s statement says much more definitively: “You can join your friends wherever they are.” That’s good news for anyone hoping to get a group of four vampire slayers together – all platforms grouping together means more potential recruits for a four-player squad.
redfall will be released on May 2 on Windows PC and Xbox Series X. It will be the first Xbox Game Studios game with the new $69.99 price tag that Microsoft confirmed in December. redfall will also be available through Game Pass at launch, on both Xbox and PC.
