How to Enable Crossplay on Your 7D2D Server

This guide will show you how to enable crossplay on your 7 Days to Die server to allow Xbox Series and PS5 players to connect to your server.

Enabling Crossplay

1. Log in to the Game Host Bros Panel and select your 7 Days to Die server.
2. Go to Configuration > Startup Parameters.
3. Configure the following settings:
   • Set ServerMaxPlayerCount to a maximum of 8
   • Set ServerAllowCrossplay to True
   • Set EACEnabled to True
   • Set IgnoreEOSSanctions to False
4. Restart your server for the changes to take effect.

Crossplay Requirements

For console players to connect to your server, you must:

• Configure all four settings exactly as shown above
• Use only console-compatible values for all server settings (see below)
• Remove any mods from your server
• Limit the server to 8 players maximum

Steam players can join regardless of settings, but Xbox and PS5 players will be unable to connect if any setting uses non-standard values.

Valid Settings for Crossplay

When crossplay is enabled, your server settings must use values that are compatible with console versions. Steam players can connect regardless of settings, but console players will be unable to join if any setting uses non-standard values.

Setting	Accepted Values
AirDropFrequency	≥ 24
BloodMoonEnemyCount	4 - 64
BlockDamageAI	≥ 25
BlockDamageAIBM	≥ 25
BlockDamagePlayer	25 - 300
DayNightLength	≥ 10
LootAbundance	≤ 200
LootRespawnDays	≥ 5
XPMultiplier	25 - 300

Note

The game developers are working on improving the complexity of the settings for ease of use in a future patch.
