How to Chain Your Way to Co-Op Fun: A Totally Tubular Guide to Playing Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Your Xbox One Buddies
So you and your squad are jonesing for a good ol' fashioned horror romp, and what better way to satisfy that craving than by chainsawing your way through the deranged Hewitt clan in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game? But hold on there, Leatherface! You just realized your partner-in-crime is stuck on an Xbox One while you're on a different platform. Fear not, fellow survivors (or maniacs, no judgment here), because this guide will have you hacking and slashing together in no time!
Crossplay? You Betcha, But with a Twist
First things first, let's clear the air. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre game offers crossplay, but with a slight wrinkle. Unfortunately, it's not a free-for-all across every single console generation. Think of it like a family reunion: current-gen consoles (Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC) can all get together for a good ol' fashioned massacre, but Xbox One and PS4 gamers are stuck partying with their own kin.
So, what does this mean for you?
- If you're both on Xbox One: High five! This is the easiest situation. Just use the good ol' fashioned Xbox party system to invite your friend and get ready to scream (or cackle, depending on your chosen role).
- If you're on a new-gen console and your friend's rocking an Xbox One: This is where things get a tad more interesting. Crossplay is still possible, but you'll need to use a fancy party trick called an "invitation code." The host (that's you, fancy new-gen console owner) needs to create a party and grab the code from the "Party Options" menu. Then, your friend on the Xbox One can use that code under "Join Lobby" in their own "Party Options." Voila! Crossplay party formed!
Bonus Tip: Check Your Privacy Settings
Just a heads up, some Xbox One privacy settings might be blocking your crossplay fun. Make sure "You can join cross-network play" is set to "Allow" under Privacy & Online Safety in your Xbox settings. You wouldn't want Leatherface to show up because you accidentally locked yourself out of the party, would you?
Now Get Out There and Massacre!
With those simple steps, you and your Xbox One buddies should be ready to dive into the glorious chaos of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Remember, teamwork (or lack thereof) is key. Will you work together to escape the clutches of the Hewitt family? Or will you succumb to the sweet song of the chainsaw and embrace your inner maniac? The choice is yours, but whatever you do, make sure you have a blast (or a bloodbath, depending on your preference). Just don't forget to thank your lucky stars (or the Entity) that crossplay exists!
