Yes, Fantasy Life i supports crossplay between all platforms, including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Up to four players can connect and jump into the fun together. You can have one player on each platform or a couple on the same one. Any combination of platforms you need to play works as long as you’re not trying to play with more than four players at once.

How to use crossplay in Fantasy Life i

To start the multiplayer crossplay feature, head to the counter at the Guild Office after completing Chapter Three. Once you’re there, you can chat with Colm to start up a crossplay adventure with friends.

Early on, you only have access to a limited version of multiplayer where a second individual can jump in and play as Trip. Crossplay isn’t allowed for this version, so to fully unlock this feature, you must progress further in the game. The player experiencing the game must join via couch co-op, and their abilities are more limited when playing as Trip.

Crossplay requirements in Fantasy Life i

There are three requirements you need to meet to use crossplay in Fantasy Life i:

  • Progress to Chapter Three.
  • Play until you see the multiplayer pop-up featuring Colm.
  • Have access to online services, which means you need a paid subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Plus, or Xbox Game Pass if you’re using any of these platforms.

Once all of these conditions are met, you can freely use crossplay with friends whenever you like.

How many players can use crossplay in Fantasy Life i?

Anywhere from two to four players can enjoy crossplay together. You can enjoy island life however you see fit, regardless of how many players you have at your side, so feel free to invite as many allies as you want as long as you stay under the limit of four.

Now that you know how crossplay works, you can get to work exploring the island and completing the many tricky tasks you can find around it. You might want to try earning 10,000 Dosh fast, getting Dandelion Cotton, and gathering Healweed and Vitalweed.
