The above steps work for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, though Xbox users need to go through one more step to make sure they can use crossplay. However, this step may have already been completed if players have played crossplay games before

To activate crossplay on Xbox, players should follow the steps as listed below:

• Open Xbox console’s settings
• Select “Online safety & family”
• Select “Communication & multiplayer”
• Enable Crossplay

All versions of the game allow crossplay, but this game, like many online multiplayer games on console, requires PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold.

From here, players just need to use “Social” in the main menu and search for their friends. It will also show which platform the players are on. However, it is important to note that people will not show up to play until they have completed the tutorial. For players invited into a game, they can find their invites under:

Social -> Party Invites.

Evil Dead: The Game was released on May 13, 2022, and brings together familiar characters from the various Evil Dead franchises to work together against the Karandian Demon. Players will need to manage their fears, and find key items that will seal the breach between worlds and make the planet safe once and for all from evil demonic forces.
