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

No, MISERY 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: MISERY is PC-only, so there are no console or mobile versions to cross-play with. In practice the only multiplayer is PC-to-PC: up to 10 players via online co-op or LAN.

Technical Details

How MISERY Online Co-op Works

MISERY is a 1 to 10 player survival game set in a procedurally generated, STALKER-inspired nuclear exclusion zone. One player hosts a world and others join over the internet through Steam or over a local network via LAN. Together you scavenge radioactive ruins for resources, build and defend a bunker, craft weapons and survive the Zone's psychological-horror pressures — too much stress makes characters hear whispers and see things that aren't there. All co-op is between PC players, since the game is currently a Steam exclusive.

Does MISERY have Solo & Offline Play?

Yes. MISERY fully supports single-player, so you can explore and survive the Zone alone, and it also offers LAN co-op for local-network play alongside its online co-op.

MISERY Platforms, Steam Deck & Linux

MISERY is available on PC via Steam only, with no Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo versions announced. Because it is single-platform, there is nothing to cross-play or cross-progress with. The developer notes it runs well on Steam Deck and can be played on Linux through Proton, though there is no native Linux build.

MISERY Release & Developer

MISERY was developed by Platypus Entertainment and published by Ytopia, releasing on Steam on October 23, 2025 to very positive user reviews. It is a standalone commercial game — not to be confused with the older 'MISERY' overhaul mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. Shortly after launch it briefly left Steam over a DMCA dispute with STALKER developer GSC Game World, which was resolved after some STALKER-referencing assets were removed.
