How to Connect Console & Crossplay Players to Your 7 Days to Die Server

Here’s how Console platforms such as Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5 players can connect to your 7 Days to Die server after enabling crossplay by using the in-game server browser.

Tip

On PC and looking to direct connect with your server IP? See our general connection guide.

Note

Console players can only connect if your server has crossplay properly configured. See our enable crossplay guide to set up your server correctly.

Make your server name unique and easy to remember so players can find it quickly in the server browser.
