You can control crossplay platform settings directly through your game server’s web interface. In the Configuration tab, you decide whether players can connect across platforms or only via certain systems like PC or console. This way, you maintain full control over which platforms are allowed for crossplay.
Since PC and console players cannot add each other as friends, joining a shared server is done through the in-game server browser. Console players must ensure that crossplay is enabled in the game settings to see and connect to cross-platform servers.
Start Abiotic Factor on your console and open the settings menu. Make sure the Crossplay option is set to Enabled. This is important so the server appears in your server list when searching cross-platform. Usually, you will be asked to enable crossplay the first time you launch the game.
Once crossplay is enabled, return to the main menu and select Enter The Facility, then Join A Server. You now have two options to connect: either search for the server by entering its exact name in the search bar and clicking Apply, or use the Direct Connect option by entering the server’s IP address and port. The server should then appear in the list when searching. Simply select it and click Join to connect.
If connecting via IP, make sure the address and port are entered correctly to establish the connection. After that, you will be connected directly to the server and ready to play.
With these steps, you now know how to manage crossplay settings and connect to your server from a console. Whether on PC or console—enabling crossplay and using the correct connection method ensures a smooth, shared gaming experience across all platforms.
