Wargroove, the turn-based tactics game by Chucklefish, will feature cross-play when it launches for PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on Friday 1st February, the developer has announced.
Chucklefish announced the news via Twitter:
Sometimes your friends aren’t in the same faction as you, and that’s okay!

This news will be music to the ears of players who are planning to buy the game on a different platform than their friends, and it will also mean that online play should have pretty quick matchmaking, as there will be a much bigger pool of players available to be matched together. Wargroove will support both co-op and competitive PvP multiplayer for up to four players, both online and locally.
The PS4 version of Wargroove will be released at a currently announced later date, and it remains to be seen whether cross-play will be supported for Sony’s console too. Of course, Sony has been very reluctant to get involved with the whole cross-play thing for as long as the discussion has been going on, but they are showing signs of giving in to player pressure, having recently enabled cross-play for Rocket League.
Wargroove will release on Friday 1st February for PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. A PS4 release will come at a later date.
