- Send your partner an invitation from your friend list rather than relying on the public room search.
- If joining still fails, check the connection and multiplayer settings below.

Why is it called crossplay or cross-platform co-op?
These names describe the same shared session from different angles: compatible platforms and cooperative play.
- Crossplay: you play with a partner on another supported platform. The Steam feature label calls this Cross-Platform Multiplayer; writing it as cross play means the same thing.
- Cross-platform co-op: you cooperate across platforms, taking different roles and using your own tools to help each other through obstacles.
Why can't you find or join a crossplay room?
An empty public lobby can mean nobody is hosting an open room, while a failed join is a reason to try a direct friend invitation. Start with the invitation when you already have a partner, then check the settings for your platform.
| Where you play | What to check |
|---|---|
| PC | Firewall or Windows Defender blocking the game |
| Console | Multiplayer settings and an online subscription |
An empty room list does not mean you need to switch platforms. If you are looking for a public partner, try again during busier hours, usually evenings or weekends.
