Active Matter Crossplay & Shared Progress

Active Matter is listed for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The most important practical distinction is that PC progress sharing and console-to-PC progress sharing are not the same claim.

Can PC and console players play together?

Yes. The official FAQ confirms cross-platform multiplayer. Console players can search within their own platform, across consoles, or across all platforms. Check this setting when comparing matchmaking choices; a restricted pool and all-platform search are different selections.

This does not transfer PC progress to a console. Use the account table below for that separate question. Official crossplay FAQ, reviewed September 16, 2026.

Crossplay and cross-progression answer different questions

Crossplay lets players meet across platforms. Shared progress determines whether your account progress follows you. The official FAQ answers these separately.

PC storefronts share progress through the same Gaijin account

The official FAQ records shared progress between the Steam and Gaijin Store PC versions when the same Gaijin account is used. It separately states that PC progress is not shared with PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.

  • Same PC account boundary: confirmed.
  • PC to PS5/Xbox progress: not shared in the current record.
  • PS5 to Xbox progress: not inferred here.
  • Cross-platform multiplayer is supported. On consoles, matchmaking can be restricted to your platform, consoles, or all platforms.
