The most important information about coop and crossplay in Wild Hearts
How does coop work in Wild Hearts? To start the coop mode in the game, you have 2 different options:
- the campfire
- hunting gates
How does the campfire work? When you warm up at the campfire, you will see the option “Play Online”. Then you can either search for sessions or create your own.
If you create your own session, you can set specific session tags and specify which Kemono you want to hunt or provide information about the playstyle.
It is also important to set a password if you want to prevent strangers from accessing your session. Alternatively, you can select the option “Only Friends” under the point “Search for Target”.
Once you have created the session, you can also specifically invite the desired people from your friends list to join your session.
A key note: There is something called “Seamless Co-Op”. This means that your own progress will continue even when you are playing coop.
Furthermore, the following applies: If you join someone who is not as far along in the story as you are, your own story will continue when you both reach the point you were at.
How do hunting gates work? You will find hunting gates spread throughout the game world. Through these, you can select the corresponding Kemono you want to hunt. The game will then search for a suitable session for you.
What requirements apply for coop? To play with others, you must first complete the tutorial. Depending on how fast you are, you can do it in 15-20 minutes. Once you have the option to build your first campfire, nothing stands in the way of multiplayer.
Is crossplay supported in Wild Hearts? You can play the game on various consoles Xbox X/S and PS5, on PC, on the platforms Origin, Steam, and Epic Games Store. Crossplay is supported, and you have the opportunity to go hunting together with others. Up to a total of 3 people can play together.
