Is Dimraeth Crossplay? Co-op, Cross-Platform and Joining Friends
Dimraeth has no crossplay because it is a Steam-only PC game — here is the full multiplayer picture: how joining friends works, host rules, and what carries between worlds.
Last checked: 2026-09-30 · Facts on this page come from the sources listed above; anything unverified is marked as unconfirmed. Early Access details can change with each official patch.
Dimraeth does not have crossplay — and the honest answer is that it cannot, because the game runs exclusively on Windows PC via Steam. Mudtek's FAQ is unambiguous: PC via Steam with full Steam Deck support, and "at this time, we don't have confirmed plans for console releases." With one platform and one store, there is no cross-platform barrier to bridge. What is actually worth knowing is how the co-op underneath works: who hosts, how friends join, and what your progress does when you play in someone else's world. That full picture is below.

|---|---|---|
| Crossplay? | Not applicable — Steam/Windows only | Store platform block; FAQ: no confirmed console plans |
| Max players? | Up to 8 in online co-op | FAQ and store listing |
| Can I play solo? | Yes, solo from start to finish | FAQ: "Dimraeth can be played solo from start to finish" |
| How do sessions run? | Peer-to-peer; one player acts as the host | FAQ: dedicated servers "not at this time" |
| Dedicated or private servers? | None — the host's machine runs the world | FAQ: peer-to-peer system |

Joining friends: what actually happens
Because sessions are peer-to-peer, the host owns the world: their save, their buildings, their story state. Community documentation — including a developer reply on the Steam forums — describes two working routes into a session: the in-game multiplayer lobby, and joining a friend directly from your Steam friends list. There is no quick-join matchmaking; solo players on Reddit have asked for one, so treat random drop-in as a feature that does not exist yet rather than one you are missing how to use.
Drop-in and drop-out is a stated core design — players can come and go from a session — but the multiplayer guide covers the full hosting walkthrough, including what a group should decide before building a base together.
The rule that surprises everyone: world-bound progress
The single most important co-op fact in Dimraeth is the world-bound progression rule, stated on the official Steam page: your hero's level, equipment, inventory, spells and personal progression travel with you between worlds, while story progress, recruited NPCs and buildings stay tied to the world that created them. The practical consequence for friends: quests you complete in your friend's world advance their campaign, not yours — you will redo them in your own save. Our save guide covers the persistence model, and the co-op progression details follow from the same rule.
If you are evaluating whether to buy for the co-op alone, that rule plus peer-to-peer hosting means picking a reliable host matters more than picking the first party leader — the console status page rounds out the platform picture if you were hoping to play across device families.
Version and evidence note
Fact-table rows are quoted from the official FAQ and Steam store material, checked 2026-09-30 against build 0.107.7779. Join routes (multiplayer menu, Steam friends list, developer forum confirmation) and the quick-join gap are community-documented during Early Access 0.107.x — accurate as reported, but not formalized in an official multiplayer guide by Mudtek.
FAQ
Is Dimraeth crossplay?
Cross-platform play does not apply — Dimraeth exists only on Windows PC via Steam, with no console versions announced (Mudtek's FAQ confirms no confirmed console plans). Every player is on the same platform, so there is no platform barrier to cross, and no crossplay feature is needed or offered.
Can Dimraeth players on Steam play with friends on other platforms?
There are no other platforms to play with — the game is Windows-only today. If Mudtek ever releases a console or Mac version, crossplay would become a real question; until then, all co-op is Steam-to-Steam between Windows players.
How do I join friends in Dimraeth?
Co-op runs peer-to-peer: one player hosts the world and others join it. Community-documented routes are the in-game multiplayer menu and joining directly through your Steam friends list, which a developer has confirmed on the Steam forums. There is no quick-join matchmaking for solo players — sessions start from invites or the lobby.
