Title: Xbox One/Steam Cross-Network enabled
Post by: MSE_TENKA on January 24, 2018, 06:30:56 PM: Raiders of the Broken Planet is now updated to V.07, and it introduces a new cross-network functionality that effectively allows to match Xbox One and Steam users together in the same game. This will effectively increase the number of concurrent players and reduce the queuing times, specially taking in consideration the new Mission of the Week (https://www.raidersofthebrokenplanet.com/community/index.php?topic=1161.0) feature introduced today.

Please, let us know what you think of these new measures. They are but an initial step towards the major progression update the design team is working on.
Thanks all for your support and see you at the Broken Planet!

Sorry have to ask, since there are specific people I might like to play with now that I can. Guessing this wont be done with Friend's list since Steam and Live do not share a friend's list. Also, does this make Win10 cross-play compatible with Steam as well?

Steam is the platform where you can find users of Xbox and Ps4. Unfortunately, you only can play with them and not to invite them to your squad... but we think it´s great for all the platforms in case you are looking for users for the matchmaking...

Post by: ALXI5 on July 30, 2018, 04:55:17 PM: Oh!!! Awesome. Im very new in this game and I felt it awesome, but if I could, there are 2 thing that makes the game more incredible:
+ Be able to invite to your party some closs platform (is very hard to find people using matchmaking, and if there are more chances to have lot of people to invite to you party will be lot better)
+ cross log-in between platforms, I know that this could be insane because they have different systems and stores, but if you have 4ex ps4 and xbx and you will be able to play with more people using your same account will be really awesome
Thanks

No

Post by: Level9Drow on August 01, 2018, 07:39:05 PM: I figured. PS4 has been preventing this for a while now. It was indirectly confirmed by Enric Alvarez in his interview.

Post by: ALXI5 on August 02, 2018, 04:13:32 PM: Hey Guys, silly question... Considering that on XBONE you can see what is playing the PC user that is has sync the PC´s Xbox launcher with his Live Gametag, can you invite him to the games party?

Thanks,

Xbox is having several issues at the moment not necessarily on MSE's end. Can't matchmake, and founders items are not being recognized like the elite skins and Valeria.

I recommend waiting for these things as they are working to fix, but per communication in discord, it may bee over the weekend before these issues are resolved between MSE and Microsoft. Current evidence points to a connectivity issue.
