Conan Exiles is more popular than ever and is getting a sizable expansion later in 2022. But this has many fans speculating on whether the brutal survival title will finally be getting cross-platform support. So, for those of you with friends across platforms, let's see if there's support before you start disabling that intro cinematic.
Does Conan Exiles have cross-platform/crossplay?
The answer isn't as clear-cut as we would like. The broad and sweeping answer is no, there is no cross-platform support. For example, PC players can't play with console players, and PlayStation Players cannot play with Xbox players. That being said, Steam and Epic players can play together much like PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players can play together. This also holds true for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S players.

Cross-platform play is becoming more common in the games industry. However, the biggest hindrance is usually companies that are unwilling to work with one another or licensing problems that may arise. Conan the Barbarian is a wildly popular series from the mind of Robert E. Howard.
Despite his popularity, or perhaps due to it, there have been several lawsuits regarding copyrights and trademark disputes. While Exiles' lack of crossplay may be due to licensing issues, this is purely speculation, as the developer has not given any statement on crossplay aside from a FAQ post in 2017 stating that there were no plans for crossplay between PC and Xbox One.
