# How to Enable Crossplay on Your 7 Days to Die Server (/docs/7-days-to-die/crossplay)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

7 Days to Die supports crossplay between **PC (Steam)**, **PlayStation 5**, and **Xbox Series X|S** on dedicated servers.

Requirements [#requirements]

All of these must be met simultaneously:

| Requirement            | Value                               |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `EACEnabled`           | `true` (mandatory)                  |
| `ServerAllowCrossplay` | `true`                              |
| Mods folder            | **Empty** — no mods at all          |
| `ServerMaxPlayerCount` | **8 or fewer**                      |
| `WorldGenSize`         | **8192 or smaller**                 |
| Game version           | All players on the **same version** |

Enabling Crossplay [#enabling-crossplay]

1. Stop your server
2. In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Files** and open `serverconfig.xml`
3. Set these properties:

```xml
<property name="EACEnabled" value="true" />
<property name="ServerAllowCrossplay" value="true" />
<property name="ServerMaxPlayerCount" value="8" />
```

4. Make sure the `Mods` folder is empty or doesn't exist
5. Save and start your server

How Console Players Connect [#how-console-players-connect]

* **PS5 / Xbox Series X|S:** Open the in-game server browser, filter by server name or region, and connect
* **PC (Steam):** Standard server browser or direct IP connect — both work with crossplay enabled

> 📝 **Note:** PS4 and Xbox One are **not supported** — crossplay only works on current-generation consoles.

Key Limitations [#key-limitations]

* **No mods:** Crossplay and mods are mutually exclusive. Any mod files in the `Mods` folder will break console player connections.
* **EAC mandatory:** All PC players must have EasyAntiCheat enabled. If any PC client disables EAC, console players cannot connect to them.
* **8 player limit:** Hard cap for crossplay servers regardless of hardware.
* **World size limit:** Maximum 8192 blocks for RWG worlds.

Disabling Crossplay [#disabling-crossplay]

Set `ServerAllowCrossplay` to `false`. This removes all crossplay restrictions — you can then use mods, increase player count above 8, and optionally disable EAC.

```xml
<property name="ServerAllowCrossplay" value="false" />
```

Crossplay + EAC Troubleshooting [#crossplay--eac-troubleshooting]

| Issue                               | Fix                                                                                 |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Console players can't find server   | Verify all requirements above are met. Check `ServerVisibility` is `2`.             |
| "EAC authentication failed"         | All PC clients must have EAC running. Verify `EACEnabled` is `true`.                |
| "Version mismatch"                  | All platforms must be on the same game version — console updates can lag behind PC. |
| Mods installed but crossplay needed | Remove all files from the `Mods` folder. XML-only modlets also break crossplay.     |
