Quick Answer: Does Abiotic Factor have Crossplay & Cross-Progression?

Yes, Abiotic Factor supports full crossplay across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S. This means you can play with friends regardless of their platform. Cross-progression is enabled, keeping your saves and unlocks synced across platforms.

Note: Crossplay spans PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but it is off by default — every player has to tick the crossplay box in the Gameplay settings before cross-platform sessions appear. Console players also cannot use mods, which are a big part of the PC version.

How to Play Cross-Platform

  1. Get Abiotic Factor on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S — it is also on Xbox Game Pass and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog.
  2. In the Gameplay settings, tick the crossplay checkbox. Everyone who wants to mix platforms has to enable it.
  3. Host or join a session and invite friends; players on all three platforms can play together in real time.
  4. Because saves sync to the cloud, you can keep the same character and progress whether you continue on PC, PS5 or Xbox.

Does Abiotic Factor Have Cross-Progression?

Yes — Abiotic Factor supports cross-progression. Your saves, unlocks and progress stay synced when you switch platforms.

Cross-progression is fully supported: your saves, unlocked recipes, story progress and achievements are stored online, so you can log in on PC, PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S and pick up where you left off. Xbox and PC owners also get Xbox Play Anywhere, sharing a single purchase across both. An internet connection is required to sync.

Does Abiotic Factor Have Split Screen / Couch Co-op?

No — Abiotic Factor does not offer split screen or couch co-op. To play together, each player needs their own system running the game.

There is no split screen or local co-op. All co-op is online for up to six players — you plus five others — so each player needs their own device and copy of the game.

Technical Details

How Abiotic Factor Crossplay Works

Abiotic Factor supports full cross-platform co-op between PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, added when the game left Early Access for its 1.0 launch on July 22, 2025. Crossplay is opt-in: each player enables a crossplay checkbox in the Gameplay settings, after which they can host or join cross-platform sessions with anyone on the other platforms.

Abiotic Factor Solo & Offline Play

You can play Abiotic Factor entirely solo, taking on the Half-Life-style research-facility survival on your own. It is built for co-op but never requires other players. Note that syncing your cloud save across platforms needs an internet connection.
