How to Slay Your Friends Across Dimensions in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
So you and your buddies are itching for a good ol' fashioned horror romp through Texas, chainsaw-wielding maniac and all. But hold on there, buckaroo! You just realized your crew is scattered across more platforms than a Chuck E. Cheese prize counter. Fear not, fellow monster mashers, because this guide will have you chainsawing across realities in no time!
First things first: You gotta check your platform privilege.
- PC Master Race? You lucky ducks are in! Crossplay is enabled by default for you glorious ascended beings.
- Next-Gen Ninjas (PS5 and Xbox Series S/X): Y'all are invited to the party too! Just make sure you haven't accidentally locked yourselves out in the console settings (because who even reads those?).
Uh oh, looks like you're on last-gen (PS4 or Xbox One).
We feel for you, console cowboys. As of now, you're stuck with your own posse for the chainsaw ballet. But hey, at least you won't have to deal with PC players complaining about frame rates while Leatherface chases them with a grin wider than the Grand Canyon.
Alright, alright, you lucky ducks with crossplay enabled, let's get this party started!
-
For the PC people and next-gen console crew: Crossplay should be automatically enabled, but double-checking never hurts. You wouldn't want to miss out on the carnage because your settings were stuck on "Grandma Mode."
-
For those on PS5: Head into the Options menu, find the "Game" tab, and make sure that beautiful "Crossplay" option is sparkling like Leatherface's freshly sharpened chainsaw.
-
Xbox Series S/X players, this one's a bit trickier: You gotta delve into the depths of your console's settings. Navigate to Settings > Account > Privacy and Online Safety > Xbox Privacy > View Details and Customize. There you'll find the holy grail: "You Can Join Cross-Network Play." Make sure it's set to "Allow" so you can join your friends before they become Leatherface's lunch.
Now that you've got the technical mumbo jumbo out of the way, here's the real fun part: wrangling your friends into a cross-dimensional slaughter session!
- For the PC overlords: You can invite your console comrades through the in-game friend list. Fancy, huh?
- For console cowboys: You'll need to use a six-digit party code system. The host needs to create a party and grab the code under "Party Options." Then, your friends on other platforms can use that code under "Join Lobby" in their "Party Options." It's like a secret handshake for murderous fun!
There you have it, folks! With a little know-how, you'll be chainsawing across realities and terrorizing your friends in no time. Remember, teamwork makes the dream work, especially when that dream involves escaping a deranged family with a taste for human chili.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy, you can use your newfound crossplay powers to strategically pit your platform against another. Maybe the PC players can brag about their fancy graphics while the console cowboys boast about their superior controller rumble during Leatherface's tantrums. Just remember, when push comes to shove, everyone screams the same way.
