Cross-play has become a regular occurrence in first-party Xbox games, as we’ve seen features implemented in big releases like Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5.
The news of Redfall’s crossplay support originally came from Q&A with developerswhere Arkane also addressed scaling difficulties.
“Depending on party size, you’ll see changes in the types of enemies you encounter, their strength compared to solo, and the frequency of Elite Traits,” writes Redfall Community Manager Richard Stanford.
The game is set to release on Xbox and PC on May 2nd, so it won’t be long before you can dive into Redfall with your vampire-hunting team. To fight many vampires. The game will be available on Game Pass on day one.
