Is Dying Light The Beast Cross Platform? Crossplay and Cross-Progression (2026)
Nick Guli|Partly. Checked on Oct 8, 2026.
Dying Light: The Beast doesn’t support crossplay among PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. This means console and PC players can’t team up for co-op sessions. According to reports from Techland’s support page, the only cross-platform option available is between Steam and Epic Games Store players on PC. However, this hasn’t been verified against the official page. Techland also cancelled the PS4 and Xbox One versions on July 14, 2026, leaving the game available on just three platforms.

Does Dying Light The Beast have cross-progression?
No. Saves and progress do not transfer between PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to multiple guides that cite Techland's support page. One guide says Steam and Epic players can link accounts through a Techland account, but another source says there is no cross-save. That detail has not been officially confirmed. Co-op shared progression exists within a platform: XP, loot and resources carry back to each player's own save, but main story progress follows the host.
Dying Light The Beast crossplay FAQ
Is Dying Light The Beast cross platform?
Partly. Dying Light: The Beast does not have crossplay between PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, so console and PC players cannot join each other's co-op sessions. Reports citing Techland's support page say the only cross-platform pairing is Steam and Epic Games Store players on PC, but that has not been checked against the official page. The PS4 and Xbox One versions were cancelled by Techland on July 14, 2026, so the game is on three platforms.
Can PC and PS5 players play Dying Light: The Beast together?
No. Co-op is limited to players on the same platform, and PC and PlayStation 5 players cannot join each other's sessions.
Can Xbox and PlayStation players play together in Dying Light: The Beast?
No. Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players cannot share a co-op session.
Can Steam and Epic Games Store players play together?
Yes, according to reports that cite Techland's support page. Steam and Epic players share one PC co-op pool. This has not been checked against the official page.
Is there a crossplay toggle in the settings?
No toggle has been documented. One guide says the game does not open cross-platform connections between consoles and PC, so there is no setting to switch on or off.
Will crossplay be added later?
This has not been officially confirmed. In June 2025, franchise director Tymon Smektala said crossplay was considered but could not be promised for launch. No roadmap or commitment has been published.
