Don't Starve Together is available on the following platforms:
No, you cannot play Don't Starve Together cross-platform. The game does not support crossplay, meaning players on PC, Xbox One+, PlayStation 4+, Nintendo Switch+ can only play with others on the same platform.
PlayStation and Xbox players cannot play Don't Starve Together together. The game uses separate online infrastructures for each platform: Steam uses Steamworks, PlayStation uses PSN, Xbox uses Xbox Live, and Switch uses Nintendo's network. However, cross-generation play works within console families - PS4 can play with PS5, and Xbox One can play with Xbox Series X/S.
No, PC players cannot play Don't Starve Together with console players. PC (Steam) players can only join servers hosted by other Steam users. There is no crossplay support between PC and any console platform (PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch).
Yes, Mac (macOS) and PC (Windows/Linux) players can play Don't Starve Together together seamlessly. All three operating systems use Steam and can connect to the same servers without any restrictions. This is the only form of cross-platform compatibility in the game.
Yes, Don't Starve Together supports local split-screen co-op on PlayStation and Xbox consoles. On PlayStation systems, both players need to be signed into separate PSN accounts to activate split-screen. To start split-screen, press the Options button on a second controller from the main menu. PC and Nintendo Switch versions do not support split-screen.
Developer Klei Entertainment has acknowledged player requests for full crossplay support but has not announced any plans to add it. The technical challenges of unifying different platform networks (Steam, PSN, Xbox Live, Nintendo Network) and the costs associated with maintaining crossplay infrastructure make this unlikely. Cross-platform support is not currently a development priority for the team.
Don't Starve Together supports up to 6 players by default in online co-op servers, though dedicated servers with mods can support up to 64 players. The game features persistent world servers where players work together to gather resources, craft items, build structures, and survive against hunger, environmental hazards, and hostile creatures. Voice chat is not built into the game - players typically use Discord or platform-specific party chat. To play with friends, you need to be on the same platform: host a server and share the server name/password, or join through your platform's friends list.
Yes, Don't Starve Together fully supports solo play. You can create private worlds and play alone, experiencing all the same content as multiplayer. However, the game is balanced for co-op - enemies have increased health compared to the original Don't Starve, and some boss fights are designed with multiple players in mind. Many players enjoy the challenge of solo play, though it requires more careful planning and strategy.
