Enable Crossplay on Your 7 Days to Die Server

How to set up crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on your 7DTD dedicated server.

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

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

Stop your server
In the XGamingServer Panel, click Files and open serverconfig.xml
Set these properties:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
