Will Windjammers 2 feature crossplay across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox?

With Windjammers 2 officially releasing today, fans of the arcade original are curious if the cult classic will feature crossplay across the various platforms.

Unfortunately, the title will only feature crossplay features between Xbox and PC for now. This means that PlayStation and Nintendo users will be confined to their platforms, which many fans find pretty surprising as the port of the original game was set to be released on the Nintendo Switch and PS, with no plans for Xbox.

Publishers, DotEmu, have not provided any official information as to why they went with this decision. However, a big part of the community is quite happy that the title is up for grabs in Game Pass.

It’s a low-stake investment for those not aware of the original arcade version of the game. And while Windjammer 2 sees a lot of improvements from the previous title, it still plays out in quite the same way.
