7 Days to Die has been in early access for almost ten years now. Last month, the game received its biggest update ever, but does it include crossplay and cross-progression support? Here’s everything you need to know about 7 Days to Die crossplay support on PC macOS, Xbox, and PlayStation.

As an open-world sandbox game, 7 Days to Die belongs to the same genre as DayZ and Hunt: Showdown. These games test the player’s survival skills in a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world. The player has to scavenge, craft, build and fight to stay alive.

The Fun Pimps released the game in early access in 2013 and have updated it regularly ever since. The most recent update, Alpha 21, came out in June 2023 and it is the biggest update since the release.

Players can enjoy 7 Days to Die on PC, macOS, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. However, does 7 Days to Die support crossplay? Can players on different platforms play together on the same servers? Here’s what you need to know.

Does 7 Days to Die support crossplay?

The answer is yes and no. 7 Days to Die has partial crossplay support, but only between the same platforms. Players on PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S can play together on the same servers. The same goes for PC and macOS players.

However, PC/macOS and console players cannot play together. So, you have to either stick to consoles or switch to PC/macOS if you want to play 7 Days to Die with your friends on different platforms.

Does 7 Days to Die support cross-progression?

Unfortunately, 7 Days to Die does not have cross-progression, so your progress and achievements do not transfer between platforms. You cannot resume your game on consoles if you start on PC/macOS, and the other way around.

This is because each platform has its own servers and databases, which do not work with each other. The game also differs in versions and updates for each platform, which can change the mechanics and balance.

So, you have to choose one platform and stick to it if you want to keep your progress and achievements in 7 Days to Die. Otherwise, you have to start from scratch on a different platform.
