No, Dead Island 2 doesn’t have cross-platform play available.

One of the major questions surrounding Dead Island 2 is whether or not it has crossplay and it’s a must-answer for those that want to battle zombies with a friend who owns a different system. With Dead Island 2 being released on PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, friends can own it on many platforms. Still, you have a few alternatives if you want to play Dead Island 2 multiplayer online with a friend for some co-op fun.

Will Dead Island 2 be cross-platform?

Dead Island 2 does not support cross-platform play, which means that PlayStation users cannot play with Xbox or PC users, and vice versa. However, those playing with various generations of the same environment can play together. PS4 and PS5 gamers can join forces with Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players. If you're curious, it doesn't have a cross-save, so you'll have to stick to one platform as you carve your way across Los Angeles.

Does Dead Island 2 have a Co-Op play?

Co-op becomes available in Dead Island 2 during the main story quest called "Call The Cavalry," which you'll reach after the first 20-60 minutes spent in-game, depending on your playstyle. In co-op, you can choose from one of three settings or play in a single-player, allowing you to pause the game. The co-op modes include:

  • Public

  • Invite Only

  • Friends Only

How to access Dead Island 2 Co-Op?

After deciding on a platform, you may play Dead Island 2 with up to two other players for a team of three. There are six characters to pick from, each with its beginning build and personality, so you may do well by creating the zombie-slaying Avengers of your dreams. The game also emphasises that players who are far apart in the tale cannot always come together.

For example, if you're on the third mission in the main plot and your co-op partner is on the sixth, they can't host you, but you can. To play co-op, you must complete all portions of the tale. Progress from the co-op is also carried over, including inventory items; thus, the best situation is to play with a small group of one or two people. When you go solo, strive to keep up your progress so you may rejoin whenever you choose.
