While the population keeps shrinking on some servers, specially the european console servers, it has been too quiet for a while about this topic lately.
I am wondering if ZOS is still working on it, the playerbase did not forget it anyway.
Can we please get an update about how the working on crossplay is going? The progress?
Thanks in advance!

✭It has not been a quiet topic, they bring it up almost every livestream.
They are still working on it. It will not be this year.Edited by Malyore on April 9, 2026 5:35AM13 -
Jestir✭✭✭✭✭They have to work their way through 12 years of game and server spaghetti code for cross play if it evens happens consider it a miracleEdited by Jestir on April 9, 2026 6:13AM4 -

They have been mentioning it almost like every stream.
They recently said on stream that this is 2027 at the earliest because it is very complex.Edited by licenturion on April 9, 2026 6:48AM5 -
fizzybeef✭✭✭✭✭I must of missed these streams, was this recently? It would be still nice to get a insight thought, unless these are propper made in the mentioned streams.0

This was last week during the roundtable with the devs. It is timestamped.

So there you have it: 2027 or beyond.Edited by licenturion on April 9, 2026 7:26AM2 -

It was properly mentioned. They are dev streams. Insight is this:
They are working on it. It will not be this year.
It is extremely complicated to do, not only technologically, but they also have to consider how best to address things like gold economy, players that have multiple accounts, identical names, etc.
There is a team devoted to working on this currently.

✭✭✭✭They've been pretty clear that they are actively working on it and it's going to take some time, as in like 2027 at the earliest. Not sure what other insight is available until more progress is made on it.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭They didn't even say 2027 at the earliest. They simply said it's going to be a long while, and definitely not this year 2026. And the manner in which it was delivered suggested it was a polite way of saying "stop bombarding us with this question".
Honestly, I'd be shocked if 2027 is even on the table.

✭✭✭✭✭They're not going to give us details of exactly what they're doing, because that would involve explaining their server architecture, and potentially contract negotiations with Sony and (other parts of) Microsoft. Obviously the console companies won't be opposed to it but there will still be details to work out, both technical stuff and things like what happens if someone who mostly plays on Playstation used their PC to buy stuff, meaning Sony lose out on their cut from the store.
At most we might get vague updates like they've worked out some/most/all the technical hurdles and are now implementing the solutions. They're never going to tell us what those hurdles are or what they did to overcome them.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

True lol what I said wasn't very clear, but what I really meant was that 2027 might be the earliest we'll even start to get more details beyond "we're working on it". I'd also be pretty surprised if it was fully ready to be rolled out by then.0 -
amiiegee✭✭✭✭✭I would indeed appreciate a little insight how the work is going, wich problems need to be solved and like a estimated time for the crossplay
Maybe the CM´s can update us regardless 0 -

What insight are you wanting? What problems are you anticipating where knowing they exist will be a consolation to you? What estimated time are you expecting will be shared?I must of missed these streams, was this recently?
