As Starbound is available on so many platforms all the gamers have one question: Is Starbound crossplay? If you also looking for the answer to this question read the article to last.

Is Starbound Crossplay or Cross-platform?

Unfortunately, Starbound doesn’t support crossplay or cross-platform play. But don’t worry you can still enjoy the game with your friends if they are playing on the same platform as the game supports cross-generation play. For example, if you are playing on PlayStation 4 you can enjoy the game with your friend playing on PlayStation 5 and vice versa. The same goes with Xbox and PC.

Note: If you play on PC via Xbox Game Pass you can crossplay with Xbox users, but the process is very difficult.

Is Starbound Cross-progression?

Unfortunately, Startbound doesn’t support cross-progression either. This means all your Starbound progress will be lost if you ever change your primary device. You can’t retrieve your progress, achievements, and ranks on the other platform.

But you can transfer your progress from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5 and vice versa and the same with Xbox and PC.
