Cross-Platform Play

Does Fantasy Strike feature cross-platform play?

Yes! It has crossplay amongst all platforms: Steam (Mac/Windows/Linux), PS4, and Nintendo Switch.

How do I actually play with players on other platforms?

When you enter the casual or ranked online queues, you are automatically matched against players from any platform. (You can restrict this to just players on your own platform in game options if you want.).

If you want to directly challenge or watch a particular player, just add them to your in-game friends list. Fantasy Strike’s in-game usernames, called FantasyTags, are unique across all platforms. When you add a friend by their FantasyTag, you don’t have to even know or care which platform they are on, as long as they are on an allowed platform. (To challenge a friend, you must have the Core Pack. Brief exception for Switch players: both players must have the Core Pack to friend match until Nintendo approves our next patch soon, which will remove that restriction.)

Does spectating work across platforms?

Yes! Anyone in your in-game friends list, regardless of platform, can be spectated. This is free for everyone and does not require the Core Pack.

Does Fantasy Strike support cross-platform logins?

Yes. When you create your FantasyTag (in-game username) you also create a password. You can then log in on other platforms and keep your FantasyTag and all the data on your in-game player profile. That includes your rank (in the ranked mode), player and character XP (only used to give a sense of how long you’ve played, not for any competitive advantage), and single-player records such as survival mode, etc.

When I log in on other platforms, do I get to keep the things I bought?

Yes, but limited by what Sony allows. All cosmetics you buy DO travel with you across platforms, and your Fantasy+ membership does too. Your gems (virtual currency) does NOT travel across platforms. So you can buy gems on any platform, then if SPEND those gems, and the things you spend it on really will travel across all platforms with your account.

If you buy the Core Pack or Collector’s Pack though (these are things bought with real money, not gems), then those will only travel with your account between Switch and Steam; Sony will not allow the Core Pack or Collector’s Pack to go into or out of the PS4 ecosystem.

Can I gift anything to friends?

Yes, you can gift the Core Pack, except if you or your friend are on PS4, in which case Sony prohibits it. If neither you nor your friend are on PS4, then clicking on your friend’s name in-game shows “Gift Core Pack” in the dropdown menu and you can buy it for them with gems.

I didn’t create a password I think?

FantasyTags created during Steam Early access did not have an associated password or e-mail address. Same for FantasyTags created on PS4 before the game was free to play. If you created a FantasyTag without a password in either of those situations, you can just launch the game on those platforms now and you’ll be prompted to enter a password and e-mail address (for password recovery). Do that, then you’ll be able to log in on other platforms.

I currently have a different account on PS4 than other platforms. Can I merge them?

You cannot. If you have separate accounts on separate platforms and you’d like to use a single account instead, you can contact thelo@sirlingames.com about it. He can manually log you out in such a way that you can then log in with your other account. For example, you could ask him to log you out of your PS4 account, then the next time you launch the game on PS4, you could login with the account you use on Switch and Steam. From that point on you’d always automatically use that account on all platforms (no FURTHER logins would be necessary) and you’d stop using your old PS4 account.

Do I have to keep logging in each time I change platforms?

No. Once you login just one time on a given platform, you will automatically log in every subsequent time you launch the game on that platform. You can then go back and forth between platforms seamlessly and without any extra steps.

Can I log in on multiple platforms at once?

You cannot login with the same account at the same time on both Switch and Steam. Your most recent login takes precedence.

What if I forget my password?

The login screen has a feature to send you a one-time password that expires in 30 minutes. It is sent to the e-mail you used when you created your account, so please use a real e-mail for that in order to use this password feature.
