Quick Answer: Does ICARUS have Crossplay & Cross-Progression?

No, ICARUS does not support crossplay at this time. Players are limited to playing within their own platform's ecosystem. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.

Note: ICARUS has no crossplay of any kind: PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players are each locked to their own platform, and even PS5 and Xbox cannot play together. If you already own the PC version, the Console Edition does not carry over your saves or progress.

Does ICARUS Have Cross-Progression?

No — ICARUS does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.

ICARUS has no crossplay and no cross-save. PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players cannot join each other, PS5 and Xbox cannot play together either, and progress does not transfer between platforms. In particular, buying the Console Edition does not carry over saves or unlocks from the PC version. The developers have said crossplay could be added later, but it is not available today.

Does ICARUS Have Split Screen / Couch Co-op?

No — ICARUS 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 multiplayer is online, so every player needs their own copy and device — you cannot share one screen.

Technical Details

How ICARUS Multiplayer Works

ICARUS is a session-based PvE survival game where you drop onto a hostile planet for timed 'prospects', solo or with up to eight players. Multiplayer is same-platform only: there is no crossplay, so a group has to be entirely on PC (Steam), entirely on PlayStation 5, or entirely on Xbox Series X|S.

ICARUS Solo & Offline Play

ICARUS can be played solo, and the Console Edition supports offline single-player with no internet requirement. You can take on prospects and open-world missions on your own, at your own pace.
