This guide will show you how to enable crossplay on your 7 Days to Die server to allow Xbox Series and PS5 players to connect to your server.

Crossplay Requirements
For console players to connect to your server, you must:
- Configure all four settings exactly as shown above
- Use only console-compatible values for all server settings (see below)
- Remove any mods from your server
- Limit the server to 8 players maximum
Steam players can join regardless of settings, but Xbox and PS5 players will be unable to connect if any setting uses non-standard values.
Valid Settings for Crossplay
When crossplay is enabled, your server settings must use values that are compatible with console versions. Steam players can connect regardless of settings, but console players will be unable to join if any setting uses non-standard values.
| Setting | Accepted Values |
|---|---|
| AirDropFrequency | ≥ 24 |
| BloodMoonEnemyCount | 4 - 64 |
| BlockDamageAI | ≥ 25 |
| BlockDamageAIBM | ≥ 25 |
| BlockDamagePlayer | 25 - 300 |
| DayNightLength | ≥ 10 |
| LootAbundance | ≤ 200 |
| LootRespawnDays | ≥ 5 |
| XPMultiplier | 25 - 300 |
The game developers are working on improving the complexity of the settings for ease of use in a future patch.
