Arma Reforger servers can let Xbox and PlayStation 5 players join along with PC players. On ChicagoServers, crossplay is one switch in the control panel:
- Sign in to the control panel at panel.chicagoservers.co and open your Arma Reforger server.
- Open the Startup tab and turn on Crossplay (Xbox and PlayStation).
- Click Save startup, then Restart at the top of the page.
The panel sets the server's crossplay settings (crossPlatform and the supported platforms: PC, Xbox and PlayStation) in config.json for you, so there's no JSON to edit.
Scenarios
Crossplay works with Bohemia's own scenarios, such as Conflict, Capture & Hold, Combat Ops and Game Master. Choose the scenario under Scenario on the Mods tab.
Mods and crossplay
Xbox and PlayStation 5 players can use mods, but console players need every required mod on your server to be available for their console, and PlayStation players can have at most 25 GB of mods. The Mods tab warns you when crossplay is on and your mods may keep console players out. Keep the list lean, check each mod's platform support on the Workshop, and switch off Required for mods players can do without. For a server everyone can join, run it without mods.
View distance
For a server with console players, balanced view distances help performance on every platform. Set Max view distance (m) and Network view distance (m) on the Configs tab, under Server config (for example 2500 and 1000), then restart the server.
Bohemia Interactive keeps updating Arma Reforger, and crossplay features can change with it.
