Warhammer 40K Darktide Crossplay Confirmed for PS5 Release

Warhammer 40K Darktide Crossplay Confirmed for PS5 Release

Two years after its initial release, Warhammer 40K: Darktide is finally making its way to the PS5. It is currently available on both PC and Xbox consoles and supports cross-platform play between the two systems and different PC clients. With the PS5 release date announcement, Fatshark has officially confirmed that the crossplay will be available on the new platform as well.

Warhammer 40K Darktide PS5 Crossplay Confirmed

Unlike the Vermintide series, Fatshark confirmed on Twitter/X that the PS5 release of Warhammer 40K Darktide will indeed have crossplay support.

Oh, and Rejects… There’ll be crossplay on PS5.

Since this is a cooperative title, there isn’t a competitive aspect that pits players against each other which is why queuing up with friends, and other players across different platforms is highly encouraged.

As of right now, PC players can’t opt out of crossplay, but it is possible for users who are playing on the Microsft Store or Xbox version as there is account-level support for opting out of crossplay features. We expect something similar for the PS5 release as well.

Crossplay in Darktide offers the following features:

• Matchmaking across platforms
• Adding friends across platforms
• Joining players from Steam and the Microsoft Store

We don’t expect cross-progression on the PS5 with other platforms, unlike the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions which support the Xbox Play Anywhere feature.

Warhammer 40K Darktide PS5 Release Date

Fatshark has announced that Darktide is coming to PlayStation 5 on December 3, 2024.

Warhammer 40K Darktide PS5 Pro Features

In addition to the PS5 release, Darktide also comes with the “PlayStation 5 Pro Enhanced” label and targets the following performance on both consoles.

PS5 Model	Mode	Resolution	Framerate
PS5	Performance	1440p	60 FPS
PS5	Quality	4K	30 FPS
PS5 Pro	Pro Enhanced	4K	60 FPS

Darktide also has DualSense Haptic Feedback support on the PS5, though there isn’t a mention of adaptive triggers.

Warhammer 40K Darktide is in an incredible place right now, and many of its issues have been addressed over the past year with major updates. The PS5 release will include all the updated content, fixes, and quality-of-life additions, making it a great version right off the bat. Crossplay works quite well in its current state, and we expect the same for the PS5 version as well.
