Summary
Running crossplay on a 7 Days to Die server allows players on different platforms (PC, Xbox, PlayStation) to play together, fostering a more inclusive and active community. It expands the player base, making finding people to play with easier and enriching the multiplayer experience. Crossplay also means friends using different systems can team up and survive the zombie apocalypse together, regardless of their preferred gaming device.
