How to play Astroneer multiplayer on Xbox One and Windows 10Īstroneer is Xbox Play Anywhere enabled, even in its current pre-Alpha state.
These details are important, but you want to know how to do the whole multiplayer thing, so here we go. Furthermore, save data is saved on the host's device. A multiplayer world's base belongs to the host.When playing on PC you want the person with the best computer out of the group to host as the host's PC will be the one handling the processing.
Hosting a game on PC, whether via Windows 10 itself or Steam, is very intensive.You can only have four people in a multiplayer game.All players must be on exactly the same platform to play together. Not between Xbox One and Windows 10, and not between the Steam version and Microsoft's platforms. There is no cross-platform play at the time of writing.Now that we have delivered our 1.0 version, we want to reiterate our pledge to continue building on the foundation that is Astroneer. Astroneer began as an Early Access title on Steam and would not be here today if not for your support, feedback, and ideas throughout that process.
To access your saves from the Microsoft store version of the game it's a little bit trickier than on Steam, but still relatively easy.
