Killer Instinct’s Steam version will allow crossplay between Xbox and Windows

4.2
With patch 3.9 rolling out for Killer Instinct, players may begin to notice a new feature when setting up exhibition matches. As well as the usual “Allow Crossplay” toggle which allows Xbox One and Windows 10 players to face off against each other, an “Allow Cross-Network” switch has also been added. While it isn’t active yet, this switch confirms that the upcoming Steam release of Killer Instinct will have cross network play between Steam, Xbox One and Windows 10 players.

According to Killer Instinct community manager Rukari Austin, this feature may appear and disappear intermittently, as the teams at Microsoft and Iron Galaxy put the finishing touches on the Steam version of KI. The feature will not affect your matchmaking experience at this point in time, so don’t worry about toggling it on or off.

Killer Instinct‘s Steam version is set to launch within the next few weeks and there are more features to be announced, so keep an eye out for more information. As someone who has bought everything on Xbox One, I hope one of the features will give current KI players access to the Steam version with all of the characters unlocked.

Decy Nice.. I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure this is like the 2nd game to do this? Great to see more games opting for cross-play tho.

I think theres a few others that have gone cross play too but just not as big.


I just hope to see more bigger titles do the same would be pretty cool.

More games need crossplay like now. Some PC games are dead that I wouldn't mind playing again.

I wish my games are like this specially with PSN and Xbox. Can't wait.

More and more games are becoming cross play and it's brilliant to see - can't wait for when this is the norm.
