Xbox version — what to know
- Platforms: Xbox Series X and Series S only — no Xbox One version. The PS5 build also runs on PlayStation Portal.
- Crossplay: since patch 1.2.5.0, Xbox plays with PS5, Steam and Epic — all sessions run through Epic Online Services, so a free Epic Games account is required for any console multiplayer.
- No cross-progression: saves stay on the host's platform. You can't move an Xbox save to PC or back.
- Feature parity: the console release is a port of the 1.x PC game, patched on the same track (1.2.5.0 shipped simultaneously).

- 2Add each other on Epic
You need to be friends on both your platform and on Epic — Epic friends are managed in the Epic Games Launcher.
- 3Join the session
The crossplay session shows up inside the game's Join Game menu once both sides are linked and friends.

No — Satisfactory supports crossplay (playing together live) but not cross-progression. Saves stay on the host platform.

For single-player, no. For any multiplayer session on console — even console-to-console — yes, because multiplayer runs on Epic Online Services.
