No More Room in Hell 2 Crossplay: Is It Cross-Platform?

Find out whether No More Room in Hell 2 supports crossplay across Steam, Epic, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, plus what to check when squad invites fail.

Yes. No More Room in Hell 2 is cross-platform in version 1.0, with full crossplay across Steam and Epic Games Store on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players on those platforms share the same crossplay pool.

That platform answer is confirmed by current official and independent sources. The exact invite buttons are less certain because older guides show a friend-code interface that may have changed for the console launch, so this page separates the verified platform support from the still-changing menu details.

September 15 status: crossplay works, partying can still fail

The official September 9 Resupply (1.1) preview calls out a persistent problem where some players cannot squad up with friends. The developers say they are still investigating how certain connection types interact with the partying system and that a universal fix has not been found yet.

That distinction matters: a failed invite does not mean crossplay support has been removed. The official post specifically says some users have reported improvement after switching between Ethernet and Wi-Fi, adjusting NAT type, or disabling a VPN. Those are community-reported troubleshooting observations repeated by the developer, not guaranteed fixes.

Use this order before spending time on deeper network changes:

  1. Make sure every player is on the same current game build.
  2. Re-form the party from the main menu.
  3. Disable a VPN temporarily if one is in use.
  4. If practical, test the other connection path: Ethernet versus Wi-Fi.
  5. Check whether NAT restrictions differ between the players who can and cannot join.
  6. If the failure persists, send the details to official support instead of repeatedly deleting saves or reinstalling the game.

The official announcements feed is the current source for Resupply and party-system status.

Does crossplay work between PC, PS5, and Xbox?

PlatformVersion 1.0 availabilityShared crossplay pool
PC — SteamConfirmedYes
PC — Epic Games StoreConfirmedYes
PlayStation 5ConfirmedYes
Xbox Series X|SConfirmedYes

Torn Banner’s official crossplay announcement says friends can play together across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Green Man Gaming’s console-release announcement separately describes full cross-play across all platforms. Gematsu and GameSpot provide independent confirmation.

How to invite cross-platform friends

Because the exact 1.0 social-menu wording has not been documented by a current official help page, use this sequence as a checklist rather than a button-by-button guarantee:

  1. Update the game on every platform before trying to invite.
  2. Open the in-game social or party area, not only the platform friends list.
  3. Add or identify the other player through the game’s cross-platform identity system.
  4. Send the invite while every player is at the main menu.
  5. Confirm the squad is visible before entering matchmaking.

An older PlayerAssist guide describes friend codes and a Pending Invites area. That is useful evidence that the game has an in-game invitation layer, but the exact 1.0 labels are pending confirmation.

If the invite fails

Work from the least destructive checks first:

  • Confirm everyone is on the same current game version.
  • Return all players to the main menu, then retry the in-game invite.
  • Check that cross-platform play has not been disabled in game or platform privacy settings.
  • Remove a stale pending invite and send a new one.
  • Restart the game if a player appears as already in a match or the squad briefly forms and disappears.
  • Then try the Resupply-preview network checks above: VPN off, alternate Ethernet/Wi-Fi path, and NAT review.
  • Check the official support page for a current known issue before making permanent network changes.

The restart suggestion is a troubleshooting step supported by historical community issue reports. The Ethernet/Wi-Fi, NAT, and VPN checks are explicitly mentioned in the September 9 developer post, but none is a guaranteed universal fix.

Crossplay is not the same as cross-progression

Crossplay confirms that supported platforms can play together. It does not by itself confirm shared account progression or identical account features across platforms. It also does not guarantee:

  • that every platform account can be linked in exactly the same way;
  • that platform subscriptions are unnecessary for console multiplayer;
  • that voice, privacy, or parental-control settings are identical;
  • that an invite outage is a local network problem.

For example, the current Xbox store says an online multiplayer subscription is required for console play. PlayStation requirements should be checked on the regional store page for the account in use.

Squad preparation before matchmaking

A cross-platform party still needs a simple communication plan. Before the first mission, agree on:

  • who will call route changes and extraction decisions;
  • whether the group is learning on Beginner or taking a higher-risk difficulty;
  • how infection treatment and scarce ammunition will be shared;
  • whether the group is entering Objective or the faster Survival mode.

Those choices prevent more friction than repeatedly rebuilding a party after a failed mission.

If you want to learn a map before joining friends, use the Solo Mode guide. For a current Objective route that benefits from a coordinated cross-platform squad, see the Raven Rock guide.

Current evidence status

  • Verified: PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S are included in full crossplay.
  • Verified known issue: the developer is still investigating some cases where friends cannot squad up.
  • Reported troubleshooting: Ethernet/Wi-Fi switching, NAT changes, and disabling a VPN have helped some users, but are not universal fixes.
  • Pending confirmation: the exact post-1.0 button names and screen positions on every platform.

Can you and your friend actually play together?

Pick both platforms. All four 1.0 platforms share one crossplay pool — the difference is on your side (account, subscription, privacy settings), which is what the two checklists below are for.

Pick two platforms for a direct answer.

Platform1.0 availability and shared pool
PC — SteamConfirmed in the shared crossplay pool. Console-style subscriptions do not apply here.
PC — Epic Games StoreConfirmed in the shared crossplay pool alongside Steam.
PlayStation 5Confirmed. Check your regional store page for online-play requirements.
Xbox Series X|SConfirmed. The current Xbox store says an online multiplayer subscription is required for console play.

Inviting a cross-platform friend (checklist, not a button guarantee)

The exact 1.0 social-menu wording is not documented by an official help page yet, so treat this as the order that works.

If the invite fails: least destructive first

The developer confirmed a known squad-up issue and named VPN, Ethernet/Wi-Fi and NAT as the checks they suggest — none is a guaranteed fix.

Crossplay is not cross-progression: supported platforms can play together, but that does not confirm shared account progression, identical account features, or that the same linking flow exists everywhere. The developer has also confirmed a known issue where some friends still cannot squad up.
