Yes, PlateUp! supports crossplay, but only partially.
Partially — PlateUp! 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.

| Crossplay | Partial | Only some platforms play together — see the matrix above. |

No — PlateUp! does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.
Yes — PlateUp! supports split screen / couch co-op, so players can share one screen on supported platforms.
Local couch co-op is the strongest way to play PlateUp!: up to four players can share one screen on the same machine, each with their own controller. Because the shared-kitchen camera covers the whole restaurant, there is no split-screen — everyone plays in the same view. Local co-op works on every platform and sidesteps the crossplay limits entirely.
PlateUp! is a roguelite kitchen-management game for up to four chefs. Its online multiplayer does not run on dedicated servers — it leans on each platform's native online infrastructure, which is why cross-platform play is so limited. In practice that leaves a single bridge: Xbox consoles and the PC version bought through Game Pass or the Microsoft Store share a pool, while Steam, PlayStation and Switch each stand alone.
PlateUp! is fully playable solo, and running a restaurant single-handed is a legitimate (if frantic) way to play. It does not require an internet connection for solo or local play, so you can run through the roguelite loop entirely offline.
The crossplay situation is the main frustration for PlateUp! groups, and the developers have acknowledged it was not a priority during console development. There is also no cross-progression, so your unlocks and restaurant records live on whichever platform you played them on. On Steam, running mods can also break compatibility with other players who are not running the same setup.
Only barely. Xbox consoles can play with the PC Game Pass (Microsoft Store) version, but Steam, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch players can each only play with others on the same platform.
No. The Steam version is its own pool. Only the Microsoft Store / Game Pass PC build connects with Xbox consoles, because that multiplayer runs through Xbox's online service.
No. PlayStation players can only play with other PlayStation players, and Switch players only with other Switch players. Neither connects to PC or Xbox.
Yes. Up to four players can play together locally on one screen with their own controllers, on every platform. This is the easiest way around the crossplay restrictions.
No. Your unlocks and progress are tied to the platform you play on and do not transfer between Steam, Xbox, PlayStation or Switch.
