Whether your friends are on PC, Xbox or PS5, getting everyone into the same game is straightforward once you know the options. This guide covers how to play Arma Reforger with friends.<\/p>\n<h2>Crossplay: everyone in one game<\/h2>\n<p>Arma Reforger has <strong>full crossplay<\/strong> across PC, Xbox and PS5, so your platform doesn&#8217;t matter \u2014 you can all play together. The only limitation is mods: a modded server is PC + Xbox only (PS5 is excluded). For the details, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/arma-reforger-crossplay-pc-xbox-ps5\/\">crossplay guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Option 1: join a public server together<\/h2>\n<p>The simplest way \u2014 find a Conflict or Game Master server in the in-game browser, agree on one, and all join. Great for jumping in, but you don&#8217;t control it, the slots fill up, and your progress isn&#8217;t persistent across sessions.<\/p>\n<h2>Option 2: your own dedicated server (best for a regular group)<\/h2>\n<p>If you play together often, a <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/arma-reforger-server-hosting\">dedicated Arma Reforger server<\/a> is the way to go:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Always online<\/strong> \u2014 it runs 24\/7, so anyone can hop in anytime, even when you&#8217;re offline (essential for console friends who can&#8217;t host).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Your rules<\/strong> \u2014 pick the scenario, set AI, mods (PC\/Xbox), player count and crossplay platforms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Persistent<\/strong> \u2014 your Conflict campaign and settings stay put between sessions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Set it up in minutes, share the details, and your whole crew joins from any platform. Configure the scenario with our free <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/arma-reforger\/scenario-picker\">scenario ID picker<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/arma-reforger\/server-config\">server config generator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Which scenario should you play together?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Conflict<\/strong> is the flagship mode \u2014 large-scale faction warfare with AI, supplies and base building (see our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/arma-reforger-conflict-mode-guide\/\">Conflict guide<\/a>). <strong>Game Master<\/strong> lets one of you direct a custom scenario live for the others (<a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/arma-reforger-game-master-guide\/\">Game Master guide<\/a>). Both are great for groups.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can PC and console players play Arma Reforger together?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 full crossplay across PC, Xbox and PS5. Only modded servers exclude PS5.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to play Arma Reforger with friends regularly?<\/h3>\n<p>A dedicated server \u2014 it&#8217;s online 24\/7 with your scenario and rules, so anyone can join anytime, including console friends who can&#8217;t host.<\/p>\n<h3>How many friends can play Arma Reforger together?<\/h3>\n<p>Servers can run up to 128 players depending on the scenario and hardware, so squads to whole communities all fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to play Arma Reforger with friends \u2014 crossplay, joining servers together, and running your own dedicated server for a regular group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21611,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arma-reforger"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.5 (Yoast SEO v26.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Play Arma Reforger With Friends (PC, Xbox &amp;
