FAQ
Does Directive 8020 have crossplay?
Yes. Shared Story online co-op supports crossplay between PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam. Players connect via friend invite — there is no public matchmaking pool.
Can you share a save file across platforms?
No. Cross-save is not supported. Saves are tied to the platform where the game was purchased; chapter-select progress does not migrate.
Is Movie Night cross-platform?
Movie Night is local-only pass-the-pad multiplayer, so cross-platform is not applicable. Only Shared Story (online co-op) uses crossplay.
