# How to Enable Crossplay on Your ARK: Survival Evolved Server (/docs/ark-survival-evolved/crossplay-guide)



ARK: Survival Evolved supports crossplay between **Steam** and **Epic Games Store** on PC only.

Enabling Crossplay [#enabling-crossplay]

Add `-crossplay` to your server startup parameters:

1. In the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), click **Startup**
2. Find the startup command or additional flags field
3. Add `-crossplay`
4. Restart your server

Limitations [#limitations]

* **No console crossplay** — ARK SE does NOT support crossplay between PC and Xbox/PlayStation
* Epic Games players **cannot use Steam Workshop mods** — the server must be vanilla or use mods that don't require Workshop
* Both client and server must be on the **same version**
* `-epiconly` flag restricts to Epic-only connections
