Let’s cut straight to it - Sons of the Forest does not have crossplay functionality. Sadly, Sons of the Forest is only available in Steam early access right now. This means that it is only available to play on one platform - PC. As such, there is no need for the game to support crossplay with other platforms.

Looking at the developer’s previous example of The Forest, that game only ever saw a console release on the PlayStation 4. In addition, crossplay functionality never made its way to that console port of the game either.

It’s not looking promising for crossplay support in Sons of the Forest. However, it’s entirely possible that plans may change.

Sons of the Forest broke a record by becoming the most wish-listed game on Steam just before it launched. This shows that there is an incredible amount of anticipation surrounding the game, and it would surely find an audience on a console platform.
