Learn how to configure your 7 Days to Die game server to enable crossplay between PC and console players → Learn more
In newer versions of 7 Days to Die, crossplay lets players on PC and supported console platforms play together on the same server. This allows communities to play together across platforms.
For crossplay to work, you need to configure specific server settings. These ensure the server is compatible with console connections and is correctly registered through Epic Online Services.

You can find the crossplay settings in the serverconfig-zap.xml file. To edit it, open the Configuration tab (raw text view) for your game server. Find and open the serverconfig-zap.xml configuration file.
Make sure the following values are set correctly in the file:
<property name="ServerMaxPlayerCount" value="8"/>
<property name="ServerAllowCrossplay" value="true"/>
<property name="EACEnabled" value="true"/>
<property name="IgnoreEOSSanctions" value="false"/>
These parameters are required for crossplay compatibility. ServerMaxPlayerCount must not exceed 8 players, because console crossplay currently supports a maximum of eight players. The ServerAllowCrossplay option must be enabled to allow console players to join the server.
EACEnabled must also remain enabled, since crossplay relies on Epic Online Services and Easy Anti-Cheat for authentication and matchmaking. IgnoreEOSSanctions must be set to false so EOS restrictions are correctly enforced for cross-platform sessions.
After changing the values, save the file and restart your server for the new settings to take effect.
Crossplay requires all players to use a compatible game version. Servers with unsupported mods or heavily customized settings may prevent console players from connecting. If console players can't find or join your server, check the crossplay settings and make sure the server is running the latest supported version.
Congratulations! You've successfully configured your 7 Days to Die game server for crossplay, so PC and console players can play together in the same world. With the right server settings, your community can play together across platforms.
