Outlast Trials crossplay settings and how to change them

Outlast Trials crossplay determines which other platforms you'll meet players from, and in turn you can change this setting to dictate what regions of the world can join you when you play. All of that means you have some degree of control over who you might encounter, while hiding in the dark from the unhinged threats of the Murkoff Facility, so if you want to know more then this is how crossplay in Outlast Trials works.

If you can't find the Outlast Trials crossplay settings that's because it is, by default, already on. Obviously that gives you the best chance of filling your lobby out fast when you want to play, and why there aren't any obvious network or multiplayer settings menus upfront.

So, if you do want to change any online options, you'll need to go into Settings and tab over the Network option on the far right where you'll see the options above. Take note that you can only change settings from the main menu. If you go to the network option in-game you'll only be able to look at what the options are, because once you're online you can't start reconfiguring live online connections.

As I mentioned, crossplay is on by default, so if you want you can turn it off to prevent other platforms joining you. But, obviously, that might mean it takes longer to get enough players if you haven't got a full compliment of friends ready to fill a lobby. You can also switch crossplay on and off by region in Outlast Trials from the same menu screen if, for any reason, you want to limit that.
