Does Chivalry 2 support crossplay?: Everything you need to know

Indie title Chivalry: Medieval Warfare made waves when it released in 2012, bringing gritty warfare and brutal hand-to-hand combat to players all around the world.

After nearly a decade, the game has found itself a worthy successor in the form of Chivalry 2, that ups the ante in almost every avenue. Complete with an updated engine and 64 player lobbies, Chivalry 2 released on June 8th, 2021, and features a host of next gen features, but when it comes to crossplay, the situation isn't as straightforward.

Does Chivalry 2 support cross-platform lobbies?

On the topic of crossplay, the developers of Chivalry 2 had the following to share:

Cross-platform parties were not a planned feature for June 8 Launch. Our team has worked to pivot to review the possibility of providing the feature of cross-platform parties as quickly as possible. It will not be available at launch on June 8, but the team hopes to bring it online in an update once a development timeline is established.

While the statement from the developers about crossplay may seem non-committal in terms of a release date, players can take heart in the fact that the open beta hosted in May for Chivalry 2 supported crossplay and worked flawlessly for most players, so the release of crossplay for Chivalry 2 could be quite close.
