Is DayZ cross-platform?

As already established, the DayZ cross-platform options are extremely limited. DayZ only offers cross-platform support between the same console families. Essentially, you can play the game on the same servers with your friends if they're using a console that is similar to yours, i.e., a PlayStation 4 will be able to share a common server with PlayStation 5.

Here is a list of devices that support cross-platform in DayZ:

• PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5
• Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S

Players seeking to experience the DayZ cross-platform multiplayer options must be subscribed to PlayStation Plus, Xbox Game Pass Core, or Ultimate. Without these subscriptions, console players will not be able to avail of any live-service updates or the option to play multiplayer on this title.

Can DayZ players crossplay between PC and console?

No, unfortunately, DayZ crossplay between PC and console is not possible. Players who play on PC will solely match up against other players on the same platform. As for console players, they do have the option to engage in cross-platform gaming.

This feature has been maintained across other survival titles as well, such as Rust, to ensure that PC players do not get the upper hand and exploit console gamers when playing on the same servers. It is natural for the mouse and keyboard user to reign supreme in most shooter titles, and DayZ is no different. Naturally, with this system in place, there can be no place for any exploits to come into effect.

Lastly, we do not see any scope for Bohemia Interactive to implement crossplay for DayZ, and if they do, we believe it will solely be structured for console users.
