Quick Answer: Does Buckshot Roulette have Crossplay & Cross-Progression?

Partially — Buckshot Roulette supports limited crossplay, so only some platforms play together. Cross-progression is limited — your progress only carries between some platforms, not all of them.

Note: Crossplay is partial and stays inside Microsoft's ecosystem: Xbox consoles and the PC (Microsoft Store / Xbox app) version play together through Xbox Play Anywhere. The Steam build (Windows and Linux) is isolated and cannot play with Xbox or Microsoft Store players.

Technical Details

How Buckshot Roulette Online Play Works

Buckshot Roulette is primarily a single-player horror game in which you play a modified game of Russian roulette against an AI opponent known as 'The Dealer', using an eight-round pump-action shotgun. A free online multiplayer mode (up to four players) was added on October 31, 2024. Crossplay is limited: Xbox consoles and the PC Microsoft Store version can play together through Xbox Play Anywhere, but the Steam version is isolated and cannot connect to them.

Buckshot Roulette Solo & Offline Play

Buckshot Roulette is designed as a single-player experience and can be played offline. The main game and the endless 'Double or Nothing' mode do not require an internet connection. Only the optional online multiplayer mode needs a connection.
