How do I enable Cross-play?
First, right-click Overcooked! 2 in your library and select Properties
In the properties window, click Betas. Then from the dropdown, select 'crossplay_branch' and close the properties window
Your game will then switch to the Cross-play Branch and download an update. Once this is installed, you will be able to load up the game and play with non-Steam PC friends using the Team17 in-game friend system.
Please note: If you want to play with another player on Steam, they will need to have the same version of the game (all players either using the Steam Cross-play Branch or all players using the default Overcooked! 2 branches). Changing your game client does not delete any of your progression.
I can't invite my friends on Steam!
If you are finding that you're struggling to invite your friends to play Overcooked! 2 with you through Steam, please make sure to invite them into the in-game lobby before entering any groups, voice calls or VoIP lobbies in your Steam overlay.
Once you and all your friends have made it into the Overcooked! in-game lobby, you can then start to invite friends to voice chats and groups through Steam.
