- Play together: PS4 and PS5 friends can play multiplayer together.
- Separate products: they are separate products on the PlayStation Store. Whether you can buy the PS4 version and later upgrade to PS5 for free is not confirmed. If you own a PS5, the PS5 version is the safe choice.

Platform support and prices can change with updates and sales. Checked in November 2026. Which players can join each other comes from the game’s own text (Core Keeper 1.3.0.6): the “Multiplayer connectivity” setting (Steam only, Epic only, GOG only, Microsoft only, All PC players) and the in-game patch note “The game currently does not support crossplay between PC and consoles.” Release dates, player counts and prices come from the platform stores and the publisher’s launch announcements.
