No — Conan Exiles does not support crossplay between PC and consoles. PC, Xbox and PlayStation players cannot join the same server, and that hasn’t changed with the Conan Exiles Enhanced update (May 2026). This guide explains what “crossplay” actually means for Conan Exiles, the one form of cross-platform play that does exist, and what your options are for playing with friends on other platforms.
The short answer
| Combination | Can play together? |
|---|---|
| PC ↔ Xbox | ❌ No |
| PC ↔ PlayStation | ❌ No |
| Xbox ↔ PlayStation | ❌ No |
| Steam ↔ Epic ↔ Microsoft Store / Game Pass (all PC) | ✅ Yes — same PC servers* |
Why there’s no PC–console crossplay
Funcom has never implemented crossplay for Conan Exiles. The PC and console versions run on separate infrastructure with separate server lists — a PC dedicated server simply doesn’t appear in the console server browser, and there’s no setting that changes that. Players have been asking on the official Funcom forums for years; it has never shipped.
The one crossplay that exists: PC storefronts
The only genuine cross-platform play in Conan Exiles is between PC storefronts: Steam, Epic Games Store and Microsoft Store / PC Game Pass players all connect to the same PC servers. If your friend group is split between Steam and Game Pass on PC, you can share a server — including a rented dedicated server.
How the Enhanced update (May 2026) changes things
The Conan Exiles Enhanced upgrade — the Unreal Engine 5 rebuild released May 5, 2026 — launched on Steam only. Consoles (and initially other PC storefronts) remain on the legacy build, and the two builds are incompatible: an Enhanced server can’t be joined from the old client and vice versa. So in 2026 the practical picture is:
- Steam PC players on Enhanced play together on Enhanced servers (this is what XGamingServer hosts).
- Console players stay on the legacy console version until Funcom ships console Enhanced (no confirmed date).
- PC ↔ console crossplay: still doesn’t exist, on either build.
See our full Enhanced UE5 upgrade guide for what changed on servers.
What are your options with a mixed friend group?
- Everyone on PC: the clean solution. Steam, Epic and Game Pass PC players can share one rented dedicated server, with full Steam Workshop mod support.
- Console-only group: Xbox players play with Xbox players, PlayStation with PlayStation, on Funcom’s official servers or console private servers. PC dedicated server files aren’t available for consoles.
- Truly mixed PC + console: there is no server type that joins them. Any hosting service implying otherwise is wrong — don’t rent a “crossplay Conan server” expecting console friends to join a PC world.
Frequently asked questions
Does Conan Exiles have crossplay in 2026?
No. There is no crossplay between PC, Xbox and PlayStation, and the Enhanced update didn’t add it. The only cross-platform play is between PC storefronts (Steam, Epic, Microsoft Store) on the same PC servers.
Will Conan Exiles ever get crossplay?
Funcom hasn’t announced crossplay. Once consoles receive the Enhanced (UE5) build, all platforms will at least share one engine — a technical prerequisite — but no crossplay feature has been confirmed. Treat any date you see as speculation.
Can Game Pass players join a rented Conan Exiles server?
PC Game Pass players — yes, they share PC servers with Steam and Epic players (build versions must match). Xbox console Game Pass players — no, consoles can’t join PC servers.
Can console players use mods?
No — Steam Workshop mods are PC-only. That’s a separate limitation from crossplay: even if crossplay existed, console clients couldn’t load mods.
