PC Dedicated Servers for Console

To top this one off,  another question about cross play  - is there going to be crossplay between steam/console aka, I load up a private game and have console players join? 

:)


Yep. That is the basic premise of cross-platform play. Steam, MS Store, Series X/S, and Ps5 players can all get together in one map together and play together. 

I'm really looking forward to being able to include console players in our PC dedicated servers.

I hope this this coming soon.   I have my own dedicated server.   It would be awesome to be able to have all my family and friends play on a single server no matter what system they use!

 
FYI - unless Sony has changed their policy, the only way to get game mods on the PS5 is for them to be officially released by the game developer.  TFP would have to work with the modders and then with Sony in order to get mods approved.  And from my basic understanding, Sony has more stringent requirements / limitations on mods compared to MS Xbox (though I don't want to present myself as an expert, I haven't owned a console for years now - my boys do though).

There are mods out there for PS5, but all of them are through the game developer's system (Bethesda, Giants, etc) and not 3rd party mods like they are today with the PC version.
Space engineers and snowrunner have user created mods on ps5

As part of a dedicated server.  I checked the Space Engineers one and the policy was that dedicated servers are okay if they are modded, but any 3rd party mods that run scripts or change code are not allowed on the PS5.

So that means it looks promising that at the very least Server side mods only will be possible with the PS5.

What i remember is that scripts where only allowed server side. Had mods without a server but we wanted a certain script related to the movie serenity and show firefly so a server was required. There's mod selection when starting a game on mod.io for ps5. Creating a account and linking the account made adding mods possible for ps5, single player or peer to peer. The game works very similar to 7 days. Doesn't mean we will gets mods because someone has to do the work. It's definitely possible though
