Dead Island 2 will likely provide a better gaming experience with friends by your side. Here's what you need to know about the crossplay and co-op modes of Dead Island 2.
When Dead Island 2 is released, it will be available on most major platforms, including current and older console generations (except Switch) and PC. For some players, crossplay is therefore an important question, as co-op friends may be spread across different platforms. Here's an overview of the crossplay and co-op options in Dead Island 2.
Does Dead Island 2 have crossplay?
The answer to this pressing question is short but not so sweet: Dead Island 2 does not have crossplay between console ecosystems. This means that PlayStation players cannot play with Xbox or PC players, and vice versa. However, players of different generations within the same ecosystem can play together. PS4 and PS5 players can team up, as can Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players. And in case you're wondering: the game also does not have cross-platform saving, so you should stick to one platform during your adventure in Los Angeles.
Dead Island 2 co-op explained
Once you've decided on a platform to play Dead Island 2 on, you can do so with up to two other players, for a total team size of three. There are six characters or "Slayers" to choose from, each with their own starting gear and personality. You can maximize the strengths of the team and balance out weaknesses by assembling the zombie-killing squad of your dreams.
