Steam and Gamepass Cross play needed ASAP

This seems like such a no brainer - get more people to party up and play your game. Of course I realize that its also an over simplification.

I really just want to be an advocate to for this issue to have some agency. Because I know for a fact I’d be playing alot more if more of my friends could party up with me across PC game pass and Steam. Truly this is the reason how many of us engage with games, and especially one designed to party up with a competent squad.

I had a couple of friends who where on the fence about the game. I convinced them to try it and download it because it was available on game pass and they start to get into it. (HUGE WIN I think) Time comes to try and party up (as i have it on steam) - no such feature to do so exists - and their interest totally dies. My incentive to download it on gamepass to play them isn’t there either because there is no way to link my steam with my xbox account in the game. These seemingly simple features of being able to party together seem so basic. I just can’t over state enough the value of playing with friends across just PC gamepass and steam, let alone xbox and PC.

Like I’ve said, I’m just pleading to make this a priority because I do love this game. And I really want to party up with friends. I feel like the longer this isn’t a feature the more players will fall off. Gamepass is great platform! And I really want to enjoy this game the way it was meant to be played.

I’m no developer, but I know incompetence when I see it. They could’ve delayed the game a year, fixed their ridiculous crash issues, had crossplay, and all the content we were promised. Instead? They pull a CDPR in fantastic fashion. Seems to have worked quite well for them.

This.
We need cross play ASAP. Gamepass pop seems to be decreasing. I am not trashing my 150+ hours of playtime, and all the mats I have invested in that ridiculous crafting system, now that I have quite decent gear.
Either we work on crossplay, or you enable exportation of accounts from the gamepass to steam.
Please. Do. Something. For the love of God-Emperor.

I have zero knowledge of the process to establishing crossplay compatibility between different platforms, but going by how long it took other games to get it going after it was announced I can’t imagine it’s an easy process. That said I do hope FatShark can get it working at some point. I’ll be up to a 3 man team and that’ll probably snowball to pull in our 4th.
