Two years after its initial release, Warhammer 40K: Darktide is finally coming to PS5. It is currently available for both PC and Xbox consoles and supports cross-platform play between both systems and other PC clients. Along with the announcement of the PS5 release date, Fatshark has officially confirmed that 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 support crossplay.
Because it’s a co-op title, there’s no competitive aspect where players compete against each other, so you’re encouraged to queue with friends or other players on other platforms.
Currently, PC players cannot opt out of crossplay, but there is account-level support to opt out of the crossplay feature, so those playing on the Microsft Store or Xbox versions can. We expect similar results with the PS5 release.
Darktide’s crossplay provides the following features:
- Cross-platform matchmaking
- Add friends from various platforms
- Join players on Steam and Microsoft Store
Unlike the Xbox and Microsoft Store versions, which support the Xbox Play Anywhere feature, no cross-progression with other platforms is expected on PS5.

Warhammer 40K Darktide is in an amazing state right now, with major updates over the past year fixing many of its issues. The PS5 release will include all updated content, fixes, and quality-of-life additions, making it a great release right out of the box. Crossplay works pretty well in its current state, and we expect the same for the PS5 version.
