Warhammer 40k Darktide crossplay is here at last

pcgamesn.com:

Warhammer 40k Darktide just made me a very happy man, with news that Darktide crossplay is being included in the latest round of patch notes. Warhammer 40k Darktide patch 11 also introduces a new condition that rather dramatically alters the way you approach the grimdark co-op FPS game, along with a round of blessing and weapon balance changes.

Firstly, and absolutely most excitingly for me, is news of crossplay. With the release of Darktide via Game Pass, I was really happy to get on and play with my pals. However, there was no crossplay at launch, meaning that I wasn’t able to join friends who were on Steam – and a lack of cross-platform progression meant that, even if they had Game Pass themselves, they couldn’t bring their saves over to the Microsoft Store version.

Thankfully, that’s now changing with patch 11. Developer Fatshark says it “will roll out crossplay soon after the update goes live, and closely monitor our servers for a couple of days.” You’ll have to wait until all players have migrated for crossplay to appear, and Fatshark adds that if any improvements to the system are required, it may temporarily switch it back off to fine-tune things.

The update also introduces a new condition called ‘Elite Resistance’ – in this mode, “fewer but stronger enemies are spawned,” so expect to see slightly fewer of those mass hordes in favor of more dangerous individual foes. When the hordes do arrive, however, they’ll be more dangerous than normal, and you’ll also encounter “more opportunistic” specialists. In addition to this, there’s quite a few big blessing and weapon balance changes, so read the full patch notes below for all those details.

As mentioned earlier, Warhammer 40k Darktide is available for free via the
