When will Absolum have crossplay? It might take a while, but It’s on the horizon

Beat’em up is a classic video game genre that’s been through some ups and downs but survived till this day. A lot of that is thanks to a developer and publisher, Dotemu, which appears to have sworn to bring this type of productions to wider audiences. Their next title, Absolum, was already an astounding piece of code back in the summer edition of Steam Next Fest. Now, its full version is available on PC, PS4, PS5 and first Nintendo Switch, avoiding dedicated Switch 2 port, though it should work there regardless. Since this game focuses on cooperative aspect, numerous fans are wondering if it supports crossplay, so that they can enjoy this production with other players venturing the world of Talamh.

Does Absolum support crossplay?

With how many people have access to the Internet nowadays, games that worked perfectly fine with only local co-op back then are not sufficient nowadays. Not only is availability across multiple platforms more than welcome, but also possibility to play between those is a great addition. It is something that fans enjoying Absolum are asking for. Fortunately, Community Manager of Dotemu has something to say about it.
