# How to Enable Crossplay on Your Abiotic Factor Server (PC, Xbox, PS5) (/docs/abiotic-factor/crossplay)



Abiotic Factor supports full crossplay between **Steam**, **Xbox Series X|S**, **PS5**, and **Microsoft Store/Game Pass** since the 1.0 Cold Fusion update.

Crossplay Is Enabled by Default [#crossplay-is-enabled-by-default]

No configuration needed — all platforms can join by default.

Restricting to a Specific Platform [#restricting-to-a-specific-platform]

Add one of these to your startup parameters:

| Parameter                      | Effect                                   |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
| `-PlatformLimited=PC`          | Steam users only                         |
| `-PlatformLimited=Playstation` | PlayStation users only                   |
| `-PlatformLimited=Xbox`        | Xbox and Windows Store users only        |
| *(omit parameter)*             | All platforms — full crossplay (default) |

Set this in the **Startup** tab of the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com).

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

Xbox and PS5 players **cannot use direct IP connect**. They must:

1. Open the in-game server browser
2. Search for the server by **exact name**
3. Select and join

Make sure your server name is set and unique so console players can find it.

Cross-Progression [#cross-progression]

Save progress carries across platforms where you own the game.
