Content: Update 1.1 at launch; Experimental stays PC-only
Crossplay: Console-to-console only; PC-to-console not at launch

Crossplay and interoperability

Online access is needed for multiplayer, crossplay, and community posting. See platform guides for network setup (Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5).
