Fans of the classic arcade game may be disappointed to learn that the Alien Hominid Invasion will not be crossplay compatible at launch. This means that players on different platforms will not be able to play together online.
The developers, The Behemoth, have stated that cross-play is not currently planned for the game, due to the technical challenges involved and the small size of their team. However, they have not ruled out the possibility of adding cross-play in the future, if they are able to do so without sacrificing the quality of the game.
