This video needs more likes. It is concise, informative, and answered all my questions. Thank you so much good sir. I am definitely buying a PS5 copy and I am gonna make my PC friends buy it on steam. We are gonna dive right into hell (pun intended).

Why are no games local co-op anymore? I just dont get it? How hard is it to just make split screen couch co-op. I want to play sitting beside my friend not online.

[TMSlippy]

Sooo everytime either myself or the mate joins either other it kicks us right b4 the one joining loads in. So we'll see the other dude ship loading in but when ut comes to popping out the cryo it either says host left or player left. Any suggestions?

[BlairHuston]

I can’t be the only one who misses split screen games

[ChronoChristian]

GOATED channel with the best instructions.

[CouchCoop]

Three words ...Bug Home World ! Its gonna be epic, glad to see you guys enjoying it! This is a rare sequel win and reason to own that giant white

[RealEnix]

How do I go about finding a match to join if I dont have any friends online and I dont want to host?

[RedMau_]

Trying to play with brother but his name doesnt come up in social setting, yes we are friends on ps5 idk whats goin on :(

[dibidibadibidibou]

I see only 2 of 3 of my friends in the squad screen. Weird. Must says I see all of them online in PS5 menu and I see all of them online too in other squad games.. I guess it's a bug but some have found a workaround?

[NuIVIb]

I still don’t know how to play with Random’s. I’m tired of playing solo

[justicetube]

Adding crossplay friends is also currently broken

[christopherwilson]

If they implement cross save though also make it proactive across both accounts and just combine them.

[Kimbo__]

Does the PS5/PC crossplay also support PS5/PC cross party? I.E. can i join a ps5 party or vice versa ?

[Gmbly]

My close friends are all hell and no dive when it comes to Co-Op

[keishabattle]

What button do you press to move to your friends name and how diverse to can you make a video about it because I’m really sad about that because I don’t know how to move my controller to my friends name😢

[mangokid]

Can it be played together in one console?..i mean with the same monitor

[thecubester]

I feel like I’m doomed to play by myself

[Gandulito]

any idea how to link steam to psn, or how does it works i know my friends are playing on playstation but theres no way to see them

STAY 4 weeks in and the Devs completely destroyed the game. Cross-play with a friend is nearly impossible the friend request option doesn't work at all. They pushed an update on the 6th that according to overwhelmingly negative reviews made late-game play literally impossible since they nerfed the guns. 95% of the Steam Reviews since the 6th of March are negative bashing the Devs who apparently are blaming the players for just being "Shit" direct quotes. Nothing like shitting all over the hand that feeds you. I spent 63 Mins on the main screen getting errors the first night I bought. Had to wait 2 days to get in. If you haven't bought it DON'T. With the Devs arguing like children with players instead of listening to the complaints, it's clear they have no intentions of fixing the issues because they don't believe there are any. This game is starting to show all the hallmarks of over-promising and using those promises as a quick cash grab and bailing AKA New World game will most likely be dead in the next 6 months because of lazy Devs.

I can’t add my ps5 cousin even tho we both got cross play on is anyone else having this problem ?
