I like co-op shooter Remnant 2, because it doesn't pretend to be much more than what it is: a dodgerollathon where, in between dodge rolls, you fill demons with bullets. I've been meaning to go back to it, so it's convenient that there's more DLC arriving soon. Dubbed The Forgotten Kingdom, it adds a new Invoker archetype, fleshes out an existing jungle biome, and introduces more gear, more monsters, and the like. Yes, count me in.

Remnant 2, one of the best multiplayer games of 2023, just received an update that added crossplay and is now available at a discounted price of $30 on Steam for a limited time.

One of the keys to truly getting the most out of the dark looter-shooter Remnant II is finding some folks to team up with, but unfortunately, players' ability to do that has been somewhat limited by the fact that the game hasn’t supported crossplay. Well, thankfully, that changes today as Gunfire Games and publisher Gearbox have announced the addition of crossplay to the game. Here’s what Remnant II director David Adams had to say about the new feature…

Gearbox Publishing and developer Gunfire Games have released a new update for survival action third-person shooter Remnant II adding cross-play support across all platforms.

My Remnant 2 character is dangerously close to joining the vast pantheon of characters I've left in limbo, just after completing the tutorial - a race of outcasts we might call the Abandonians, kicking their heels at campfires and savepoints, while I drift guiltily back to older games I've already completed several times over. It's not that I dislike Gunfire's sci-fantasy co-op shooter - the multiple-dimension premise is pleasantly loopy, and I like the variety of procgen landscapes. There just isn't enough time in the day, not when I'm replaying Into The Breach for the 14th time. Still, perhaps the introduction of a new mode built for quickfix, story-free sessions could persuade me to give 2023's 24th best game another whirl?

Remnant 2's first DLC dropped a short while ago—and it's a pretty good romp. It adds a whole new area to explore, a new class, and some new gear to grab—it also enhances Losomn as a whole, since having the DLC lets its areas and bosses crop up during your randomised runs of the main campaign.

Remnant: From The Ashes and Remnant II have been added to Xbox Game Pass.

Remnant 2 designer Ben Cureton has revealed a host of features coming to the game as part of its next update, which is slated for release later this week. In a post on X, Cureton has revealed that, among other things, Remnant 2 will also come with the addition of PlayStation icons for the PC version, accessibility features like toggle aim and hold sprint, and a potato mode for lower-specced computers.

Remnant 2 has been out for a few weeks now and continues to please fans with its great gameplay and massive amount of replayability. With its success, players are curious about what’s next for the latest offering from Gunfire Games, including whether we can expect crossplay anytime soon.

With a million sales to its name already, a lot of people are playing Remnant 2 right now, and developer Gunfire Games has confirmed its currently figuring out a way to give all of them the opportunity to play together, regardless of platform, through crossplay — meaning everybody's pool of potential co-op partners could soon get a whole lot bigger.

Remnant 2 made waves as one of this year’s most-played RPG games, succeeding its predecessor’s peak player count and then some. From its punishing combat to its extensive lore, Remnant 2 is an adventure worth taking, boasting dozens of hours of exploration and third-person blasting. However, there is one important feature that the game launched without, and it’s crossplay play between PC gamers and those on consoles. Remnant 2’s game director David Adams recently spoke on the issue, and it looks like crossplay may happen one day after all.

Gunfire Games launched Remnant 2 several weeks ago to strong critical acclaim, selling over one million copies in less than a week. It had some issues, which the team has been handling, but there are also questions about upcoming features, like crossplay. While it wasn’t discussing the same before launch, game director David Adams has confirmed that the team is “looking at it.”

Remnant 2 has been a trending game since its release on July 25. Recently, Game director David Adams hosted an AMA on the Remnant subreddit. It was a generally positive AMA, with many fans expressing their love for Gunfire Games’ latest title. Adams discussed the future of Remnant 2, revealing that the studio has plans for DLC and updates to the game’s quality of life.

Remnant 2 developer Gunfire Games is "actively" working on crossplay for its popular co-op shooter.

Today, developer Gunfire Games and publisher Gearbox announced that Remnant II has already sold over a million units globally across the platforms it released on (PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X). Given that the game launched exactly one week ago, it's fair to assume the milestone was reached roughly in six days.

Remnant 2 developer Gunfire Games says the massively improved sequel has now sold one million copies in just four days, and as I work through my second campaign clear in co-op, I can see why.

Total sales for Remnant II surpassed one million units in four days after its release, Gearbox Publishing and developer Gunfire Games announced.

Gearbox Publishing has announced that Remnant 2 has sold more than one million units in its first week across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.

Remnant 2 has sold 1m copies since its release last week, across PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
