Re: Is The Quarry Crossplay Ps4 And Pc
Siri Vonbank
In an earlier post, it was confirmed that The Quarry does indeed have co-op, but the question now is, does it support crossplay? The survival horror game is a spiritual successor to Until Dawn which was only released on the PlayStation 4, negating any possibility of crossplay. The Quarry, on the other hand, will launch on a variety of platforms and will also go in a completely different direction in terms of multiplayer. Where Until Dawn was solely a single-player experience, The Quarry will support co-op play.
The only thing better than playing a good story-driven horror game in a dark room is playing one with a group of friends. And it seems the developers at Supermassive Games understand this since they've included multiplayer options in their latest game, The Quarry.
So you no longer have to sweat over which characters get to live or die on your own or fall victim to one of its many jump scares with no one to laugh it off with afterward. But before you go plugging in a second controller expecting to play some split-screen couch co-op, here's everything you need to know about the available multiplayer modes in The Quarry.
Anyone who has played the games in Supermassive's The Dark Pictures Anthology should have an idea of how multiplayer works in their latest game. You get to choose between two modes: Local Co-Op and Online Multiplayer.
In this mode, up to eight friends can play together on the same system using a single controller. They do so by each assigning themselves characters from the ones that are playable. Thereafter, they simply have to pass the controller over to the player whose character is currently controllable within the game.
It is an easy, cost-effective way to keep a group of players actively invested in the story and involved in shaping what direction it takes. The game can also be tailored to the needs of individual players through accessibility options so that the less experienced gamers in the group can receive any additional help they may require.
You and your friends would require an internet connection to play online, as well as individual copies of the game for the same platform since there is no crossplay between the various versions of the game.
Unlike the previous mode, this one leans more into the decision-making aspects of the game. A player can host up to seven others online, who act as spectators while the player plays through the game. When it comes time for the host player to make a decision, all spectators get to vote on what choice to make, with the one with the highest number of votes being the one that gets chosen.
Unfortunately, it looks like The Quarry might not receive crossplay support at launch. The feature was not mentioned at all during its announcement, which focused on its nine main characters and the weight of the choices that players will inevitably have to make.

After the success of Until Dawn, Supermassive Games is back with another teen-horror romp releasing this summer. The Quarry is jam-packed with celebrity voices, some of which are synonymous with the horror genre. It's hugely accessible, offering a number of ways to play and interact with the experience.
The developer dropped a teaser for The Quarry over on Twitter but the official reveal has just gone live and you can check it out below. Fans of classic slasher flicks will almost certainly love the premise; camp counselors getting picked off over a balmy summer night with their fate resting in your hands. And the chops of the actors involved will get you even more hyped.
In terms of gameplay, Until Dawn players will be familiar with the formula. Your choices will shape the story and whether your character will ultimately live or die. With nine camp counselors to choose from, you can have all kinds of grisly fun.
Nervous that your poor decision making skills will spill over from your real life into the game? Fret not! You can play with up to seven of your most sensible friends online, letting them watch along and vote on key decisions. Or you can opt for some classic couch co-op, steering the trajectory of your own counselor.
Keen to make the game enjoyable for everyone, The Quarry lets players customize the difficulty. And if you're too much of a coward to actually play, you watch the action unfurl in Movie Mode. So if you want to enjoy a cinematic thriller, you can do just that, while also choosing how the story pans out.
"The Quarry is breaking new ground across interactive storytelling and technology to create a truly visceral teen-horror experience," says director Will Byles. "I can't wait to see the choices you make, who you'll save, and who you're willing to sacrifice!"
You can pre-order the game now, with both a Standard or Deluxe Edition available. The Standard Edition will just get you game, with no bells and whistles involved. The Quarry Deluxe Edition comes with a few extras:
The Quarry launches on June 10, 2022, which is also the cut-off for pre-orders. The game is available in both physical and digital editions for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series XS. If you're on PC, you can only pick it up digitally on Steam.
The PS5 and Xbox Series XS versions are optimized for the current-gen consoles. As you'd expect, the Deluxe Edition includes both last and current-gen versions of the game. It's worth noting that cross-gen crossplay isn't available, and there's no cross progression when it comes to save data.
