Is Stranded Deep multiplayer? Cross-platform, how many players, and all details revealed
Stranded Deep has been a strange game with how its overall development has been. On its face, the game is one of the earliest games to recreate the survival experience for players on the virtual platform.
The game's name is quite literal, as players have to survive independently. They can do so through several activities, from crafting to hunting and fishing.
Despite succeeding at the start, the game has yet to leave Steam's early access. It has had a troubled development with Telltale Games shutting shop, but it continues to be available to the players.
After Telltale, the Australian studio Beam Team Games overtook the game's affairs. Since then, Stranded Deep has been released on Sony and Microsoft consoles. However, the game is only available in older-gen versions on consoles.
Stranded Deep stayed as a single-player game for a long time. The co-op came following its entry on consoles. The introduction of the online co-op came in September 2021. Hence, Stranded Deep is a multiplayer game where players can play with their friends.
The local split-screen co-op has an added feature only featured to PC players. The online co-op is the only available option for Xbox and PS players. Creating and joining game sessions is easy and hassle-free.
However, there's no crossplay to date. PC players can't play with console players or vice-versa. There is no indication of if and when Stranded Deep might get crossplay in the future.
The game takes players to a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, where they get stuck after surviving a plane crash. Players enjoy plenty of activities to go on with their survival tasks. All the maps in the game are procedurally generated, so no save is the same as the other.
