A Party Animals cross-play feature would allow users of all consoles to play with one another. A niche multiplayer game like this can always use a bigger audience. Cross-platform progression would also open those floodgates even more. Here’s whether Party Animals has cross-play or cross-platform progression.
Does Party Animals have cross-play?
Party Animals does support cross-play on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S. Those playing on Steam can join up with those playing on the recent Xbox consoles with no extra hassle. You can see this on the game’s Steam page, which has the “Cross-Platform Multiplayer” tag attached to it. The title is not currently on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, iOS, Android, or any other devices, so cross-play multiplayer is limited to the recent batch of Xbox consoles and PC (it is also not on the Epic Game Store).
Does Party Animals have cross-platform progression?
Party Animals does not, however, support cross-platform progression of any kind as of now. Your profile on one system will not carry over to the other, meaning PC players can’t just switch to Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S and continue their chaotic journey and vice versa. There are plenty of items, gear, skins, and cosmetics to buy, as well, a whole swath of Nemo Bucks and Cookies to hoard, two of the game’s currencies.
Developer Recreate Games has not stated if the cross-progression is coming sometime in the future through an update. The studio has not mentioned it on any of its social channels or Discord server, which has some requests asking for the feature.
This is Recreate Games’ first game, so there’s no precedent that could pave the way for Party Animals getting cross-platform progression. The developer’s silence does not bode particularly well, and it remains to be seen how the game will be supported after launch.
