Is Absolum crossplay?
Yes, with two separate pools. Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch gained crossplay in May 2026. The mobile edition connects Android, iOS, Chromebook and Google Play Games on PC. Playdigious explicitly excludes Steam and console players from mobile sessions. Two players can join a session.
Crossplay pools and source dates
Older pages that say Absolum has no crossplay describe the launch window. The later Steam news post is the one to follow. Steam’s store tags include Cross-Platform Multiplayer. Wikipedia records the feature as well and some press used 13 May, which matches a timezone shift off the UTC stamp. I print both dates.
The May announcement covers Steam and consoles. The mobile publisher’s November FAQ identifies a separate pool for Android, iOS, Chromebook and Google Play Games on PC, and excludes Steam and consoles. This answers phone compatibility directly rather than extending an older announcement to a later port.
