Is Don't Starve Together cross-platform?

Don't Starve Together crossplay

No Don't Starve Together doesn't have crossplay: each platform family has its own players. PC, Mac and Linux players can play together; PS5 and PS4 players can play together; Xbox Series and Xbox One players can play together.

Steam players on Windows, Mac and Linux play together. Consoles only play within their own family: PS4 with PS5, Xbox One with Series X|S, and Switch on its own. Klei keeps PC and console apart because of mods, events and different update schedules.

The iPhone & iPad and Android versions don't have crossplay with other platforms.
