Conan Exiles supports crossplay, letting PC and console players share a world \u2014 but there are rules and limitations. This guide explains who can play together, the big console catch, and how to set up a crossplay dedicated server.<\/p>\n\n

Crossplay vs mods \u2014 the trade-off<\/h2>\n
\n
Server type<\/th>Who can join<\/th>Mods?<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Crossplay (vanilla)<\/strong><\/td>PC + Xbox + PlayStation<\/td>No \u2014 console can’t mod<\/td><\/tr>\n
PC-only (modded)<\/strong><\/td>PC only<\/td>Yes \u2014 full Workshop<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table>
The core decision: broad cross-platform reach, or mods. You generally can’t have both.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Who can play together<\/h2>\n

Conan Exiles offers crossplay across PC, Xbox and PlayStation<\/strong>. A crossplay-enabled dedicated server lets players from those platforms join the same world and play together \u2014 a big deal for mixed friend groups who aren’t all on the same hardware. Official and rented dedicated servers can be set to crossplay so everyone shows up in the browser.<\/p>\n\n

The console catch: no mods<\/h2>\n

The key limitation: console players can’t use mods.<\/strong> Steam Workshop mods are PC-only. That means a crossplay server which includes Xbox or PlayStation players has to run vanilla<\/strong> (unmodded). If you want a heavily modded server (Age of Calamitous, Pippi and the like), it will be PC-only<\/strong>. Decide early: broad crossplay reach, or mods \u2014 you generally can’t have both.<\/p>\n\n
