Can you play the same character on PS4 and PC?

[Traellan]

I bought Boundless on PS4. If I buy a 2nd copy of Steam, can I play the same character from both platforms, or will I have two separate accounts? I’m hoping since I needed to create an account to play, that it’s like Final Fantasy XIV where I can move back and forth between platforms and keep the same characters. @Steggs101?

here you go

@SamF

If I buy Boundless on one platform, can I play on them all?

While all players will share the same universe, buying the game on PS4 will not enable you to play on PC, and vice versa

Your Boundless account is shared across all platforms and the forums. However your characters can only be used on the platform they were originally created with. This is ultimately a limitation we needed to accept to enable cross platform play between PC and PS4.

However, your alt-characters can still share permissions across your beacons as you can already do today.

If you have purchased Boundless on both platforms, you will have the option to use the same account on both platforms, but are equally free to use seperate accounts. Characters will be locked to the format in which they are created and are not able to be shared between platforms.

I’ve heard that if you have an account on both systems you can play on either but once you create a character and log onto a world, that character can only play on the system you’re logged on with.

I think that is what last paragraph is suggesting from that quote above

Thanks. Weird the forum didn’t pop that up as a suggested topic!

Sorry for asking something that was already answered.

@ctrl-64 don’t pull that card on me

@Traellan don’t worry, search on forum is a bit wonky so even when you know what to search for it doesn’t always give what you want And welcome!
