Trailmakers Crossplay: Who Can Play Together on PC?

Does Trailmakers Support Crossplay?

Trailmakers crossplay lets Xbox players play with friends using the Microsoft Store version on PC. The Steam version does not support that connection. Before buying a copy for a friend or organizing a building session, check which PC edition everyone uses.

The supported combinations break down like this:

Platform combination	Can you play together?
Microsoft Store PC and Xbox One	Yes
Microsoft Store PC and Xbox Series X|S	Yes
Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S	Yes
Steam PC and Xbox	No

Xbox support includes both cross-platform multiplayer and co-op, plus cross-generation multiplayer. Friends on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S can therefore play together without everyone owning the same console generation.

Which PC Version Should You Choose?

If your friends play on Xbox, choose the Microsoft Store PC version. You can find the game through the Trailmakers Xbox and PC store page.

Steam has online multiplayer, online co-op, and Steam Workshop support, but those features do not let its players join Xbox sessions. Owning the game on a Windows PC alone does not determine compatibility—the storefront matters.

For example, if you use Steam and your friend plays on Xbox One, that pairing will not work. The Microsoft Store PC edition supports playing with that Xbox friend.

How Many Players Can Join?

Trailmakers supports up to eight players in online co-op and online multiplayer within compatible versions. That gives your group room to build vehicles together, experiment with flying machines, or take your creations into multiplayer.

On Xbox consoles, online multiplayer requires Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium, or Ultimate, sold separately. Factor that subscription requirement into your plans alongside choosing compatible editions.

The game also supports Xbox Play Anywhere and Smart Delivery. Those features are separate from multiplayer compatibility: the detail that matters for joining an Xbox friend from a PC is still using the Microsoft Store version.
