Multiplayer

Multiplayer
Multiplayer functionality exists within Astroneer between clients on the same platform. (Windows Store and Xbox can play with each other)

Be aware that:
 * Playing in multiplayer mode is still potentially very buggy and should only ever be attempted when both using the exact same version of the game.
 * The host of the game may experience increased performance issues due to their machine having to process a great deal more information.

Steam Users
Steam users can only join games only of those on their friends list. To do so one player needs to start a game and then others need to use their Steam interfaces to join.

Xbox & Win10 crossplay
To invite another play to your game, You have invite them to your game through the Xbox party feature on either the Windows Xbox app or Xbox.

Once they accept the invite it will redirect them to game and they'll be able to tell if they are connected once they see a little house icon on the planet.

Finding other players
On the Official Astroneer Discord server, see the #tagging channel for instructions how to specify information about yourself and gain access to the coop channels where you may find others to play with.
