Experimental cross-platform multiplayer available

Parkitect - Sebioff

An experimental update for cross-platform multiplayer is now available for testing.
This allows all players to play together, no matter if you're using Windows, macOS or Linux.

Right now this update is experimental, which means it needs to be installed separately and only players using this update are able to join cross-platform multiplayer sessions.
When the update is installed you can't join multiplayer sessions with players who are still using the regular version of the game without the update (but you can always revert back to the regular version at any time).

If the tests are going well this will become the new default version of Parkitect in a few weeks, so if you are interested in cross-platform multiplayer please give it a try and let us know if you encounter any issues.

Installing the cross-platform multiplayer update

Open the "Library" tab in your Steam client
Right-click on Parkitect in the game list
Select Properties -> Betas, then pick "crossplay" from the dropdown list
After the update has been installed you can play together with any other players who are also using this update. You won't be able to play together with anyone who is not using this update

Reverting back to the normal version of the game

Open the "Library" tab in your Steam client
Right-click on Parkitect in the game list
Select Properties -> Betas, then pick "None" from the dropdown list
This will uninstall the cross-platform multiplayer update
