Every time a new multiplayer game comes out, we have to collectively decide if we’re going to play it on Game Pass or buy it on Steam, and Steam consistently wins out for a few reasons. This lack of PC crossplay among Game Pass titles is frequently affecting my friend group.

Darktide does not support PC crossplay, meaning if I’m playing on PC through Game Pass while my friends purchased it through Steam, we cannot play together. The most recent game to whiff on crossplay is Darktide, a Left 4 Dead-style co-op shooter from the Vermintide 2 team - one of my favorite multiplayer games.
