Joining a Private Cross-Platform Lobby
To play specifically with friends across different platforms, you will need to join a private lobby using a unique identifier:
- Session ID: The host of a private game will generate a "Session ID" code. This code is a unique identifier for their lobby.
- Sharing the ID: The host must communicate this Session ID to all the friends they wish to invite.
- Entering the ID: Each invited player then enters this Session ID into their game client to join the private lobby. This ensures that players can easily connect with their desired group, regardless of their console or PC platform.
Finding Public Cross-Platform Sessions
While connecting with friends via Session IDs is straightforward, you can also find other public cross-platform games to join:
- Official Session Browser Website: Unrailed provides an official website where players can browse and find active game sessions. This online tool is accessible to all players to discover available games.
- In-Game Session Browser (PC Only): Players using the PC versions of Unrailed (available on Steam and Epic Games) have the added convenience of an in-game session browser. This allows them to find and join public sessions directly from within the game client, streamlining the process of finding a game.
