Quick Answer: Does Gang Beasts have Crossplay & Cross-Progression?

Partially — Gang Beasts supports limited crossplay, so only some platforms play together. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.

Note: Crossplay is only available between Xbox and PC (Microsoft Store version). The Steam build — Windows, Mac and Linux — shares its own separate pool, while PlayStation and Nintendo Switch cannot crossplay with any platform.
