Is Killing Floor 2 Crossplay?

Killing Floor 2 supports partial crossplay between Steam and Epic Games Store players on PC. To make it work, Steam users need to link their account to Epic Online Services through the in-game options menu. Once linked, you can invite EGS friends directly or both jump into the same unmodded Ranked server through the server browser. It's a little clunky compared to modern crossplay implementations, but it gets the job done. What doesn't work is anything between PC and consoles, or between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One — those ecosystems are completely separate, and Tripwire has never publicly committed to bridging them.

Yes, Killing Floor 2 fully supports solo and offline play. You can fight through the entire game alone, with AI bots available to fill empty squad slots so things don't get too overwhelming. No internet connection is required for offline sessions — just launch and play. That said, the game's heart is in its co-op, where different Perk classes (Berserker, Medic, Sharpshooter, Firebug, and more) complement each other and a well-coordinated team of six can tear through waves with satisfying efficiency.

Killing Floor 2 does not support local split-screen co-op on any platform. Each player needs their own device and copy of the game to play together, with multiplayer handled entirely online. It's a missed opportunity given how well the wave-based structure would suit couch co-op, but the game has always been built around online sessions.

Killing Floor 2 is a co-op first-person shooter set in a Europe overrun by grotesque bioengineered creatures called Zeds — picking up just one month after the original game. You and up to five other players each pick a Perk, a specialized class that levels up over time, and fight through increasingly brutal waves before a boss closes out the match. Between waves you spend Dosh earned from killing Zeds on weapons and armor from a traveling trader. The loop is tight and satisfying, the gore is impressively over the top, and with a full squad all running different Perks, it clicks really well.

Aside from the crossplay gap, the PC version has a meaningful advantage in long-term content: Steam Workshop support means a massive library of custom maps, skins, and gameplay mods. Console versions are limited to official content only. Performance and visual settings are also more flexible on PC. None of this affects the core gameplay experience, but PC players generally get a richer and more varied game over time — especially since the modding community has stayed active for years.

No. Crossplay in Killing Floor 2 is limited to PC only — Steam and Epic Games Store players can play together, but there is no crossplay between PC and consoles, or between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Steam users need to link their account to Epic Online Services through the in-game settings. After that, you can invite EGS friends directly, or both players can manually join the same unmodded Ranked server through the server browser at the same time.

No. Your Perk levels, unlocks, and cosmetics are tied to the platform you play on. Switching platforms — or even switching between Steam and EGS on PC — means starting from scratch with no way to transfer progress.

Killing Floor 2 supports up to 6 players in co-op. Solo play with AI bots is also available, and offline play is fully supported without an internet connection.

No, split-screen is not supported on any platform. Every player needs their own device and copy of the game to play together online.

Almost certainly not. The game was never built with cross-platform infrastructure in mind, and with Killing Floor 3 now released, Tripwire's focus has moved on entirely. No official plans for console crossplay in KF2 have ever been announced.

Killing Floor 2 has had free-to-claim periods on the Epic Games Store and free weekends on Steam over the years. Check the current Steam and EGS listings for up-to-date pricing — it also goes on deep discount fairly often.
