The reviews indicate frustration with the game's cross-platform multiplayer functionality, as users are unable to connect with friends on different VR systems despite the game's claims of crossplay support. Many players express disappointment that they cannot join friends on platforms like Oculus Quest while using other systems like Vive, highlighting a lack of effective cross-platform connectivity. Overall, the story surrounding the multiplayer experience is marred by technical limitations and unmet expectations.
- “I bought this because it advertised cross-play, but as of right now there is no way for me to join my Quest friends with my Vive.”
- “Bought this because it claims cross-platform multiplayer, but there wasn't a way to play with my friends who have Quest.”
- “Sure, if I had three Oculus Rifts, or three PSVRs, or three Oculus Quests connected to Oculus Link (how I use it on Steam), I would get a list of who is online on that platform, but unless they've done a new update that I haven't seen yet, you can't yet see or choose to connect to specific people on other platforms.”
