Yes, Heretic + Hexen supports full crossplay across PC, PlayStation 4+, Xbox One+, Nintendo Switch. This means you can play with friends regardless of their platform. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.
Heretic + Hexen is available on the following platforms:
| Feature | Supported | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | Yes | All listed platforms can play together. |
| Cross-Progression | No | Saves and unlocks stay tied to each platform. |
| Split Screen / Couch Co-op | Yes | Two players can share one screen locally. |
No — Heretic + Hexen does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.
No. There is no cross-progression or cross-save between platforms, and save games from the original versions are not compatible with the enhanced re-release. Your progress stays tied to the platform where you play.
Yes — Heretic + Hexen supports split screen / couch co-op, so players can share one screen on supported platforms.
Local split-screen is supported for up to four players on all platforms, and up to eight players on Xbox Series X|S and PC. This is genuine same-couch play on one machine, and it can be combined with online players to fill out a match.
The 2025 re-release runs on Nightdive's KEX engine and adds online multiplayer for up to 16 players, covering both cooperative play and deathmatch. Cross-platform play is enabled on every platform: one player hosts a match, a four-letter room code appears in the pre-game lobby, and everyone else joins by entering that code — no friend lists or accounts required to get into the same session. The original 1990s releases only offered LAN and serial-link multiplayer, so this online crossplay is new to the enhanced version.
The bundle packages Raven Software's Heretic (1994) and Hexen: Beyond Heretic (1995) together with their expansions, plus two brand-new episodes created by Nightdive — 'Heretic: Faith Renewed' and 'Hexen: Vestiges of Grandeur'. It also adds up to 4K resolution and 120 FPS on supported hardware, a remixed soundtrack by Andrew Hulshult, and support for community-published mods.
Heretic + Hexen was surprise-released on August 7, 2025 during QuakeCon, developed by Nightdive Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam, GOG and the Microsoft Store), and is an Xbox Play Anywhere title. Cloud streaming via GeForce Now and Boosteroid was announced to follow.
