Is Generation Zero cross-platform?
Generation Zero crossplay
Partly Generation Zero has crossplay, but players are split into 2 separate groups that can't meet: PC, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One; PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
Xbox players and PC players on the Xbox app (Microsoft Store / Game Pass) play together; this came with the Resistance update when the game joined Game Pass.
The Steam version can't join Xbox players, and Avalanche has said Steam crossplay isn't being worked on. PlayStation is separate too; PS5 runs the PS4 version with a free 60fps upgrade, so PS4 and PS5 players play together.
On PC, crossplay covers Steam and Xbox app.
