In 2014, Endnight Games’ The Forest entered an admittedly lengthy early access phase. It would remain in this state for the next four years as the game crept towards being finished. But, upon completion, The Forest became available for PS4 in addition to PC. It did not have crossplay, nor did the game boast a cross-progression feature. So PS4 players were locked in to playing on PS4 and likewise with PC players.
With the game’s sequel, Sons of the Forest, launching imminently, some players have been wondering if the same can be said. That is, will Sons of the Forest have these platform-based walls? or will this sequel have crossplay baked into the formula? Read on to find out if Sons of the Forest will have crossplay!
Will Sons of the Forest Have Crossplay?
Odds aren’t good, if for no other reason than, as of writing, Sons of the Forest will exclusively be available on PC. It’s entering early access starting February 23, 2023, so for the foreseeable future, this sequel will be platform-locked. It’s possible that Sons of the Forest will enable crossplay or cross-progression when it leaves early access, but if it’s anything like its older sibling, that might not be until 2027.

So, for the time being, the answer seems to be no, Sons of the Forest will not feature crossplay, nor will it have cross-progression. Sons of the Forest enters early access on February 23 for the PC. It follows a (currently) unnamed character who must locate “a missing billionaire on a remote island,” and will cost $29.99.
