Crossplay and interoperability

  • Keyboard & mouse: Not at launch; planned pending platform approvals.
  • Capture: Use Photo Mode + platform share buttons for screenshots/video.

Internet access

Getting ready for console launch

  • Link an Epic Games account ahead of time for smoother crossplay sessions.
  • Pick your preset (30/40/60 FPS) based on your display and performance preference.
