Steam multiplayer and crossplay
- Up to 8 players. Share your Game ID so others can join (how to play multiplayer).
- You can play with the Epic, GOG and Microsoft Store PC versions: the host sets the crossplay option in the game settings to “All PC players” (the in-game option name).
- You cannot play with PlayStation, Xbox or Switch.
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.
