Is The Forest cross-platform?

Imagine crashing into a remote forest, only to be hunted by cannibalistic monsters that are watching you at every corner. Sounds terrifying right? Would rather do that with a friend instead of alone, right? While the popular survival-horror game, The Forest, does allow for co-op multiplayer, is it cross-platform?

Here is the answer to whether or not The Forest is a cross-platform video game.

When embarking into a game like The Forest, one would want to be as prepared as possible. This includes not playing the game alone.

But does the game allow cross-platform play? Or do players have to play with the same console they are gaming on?

Sadly, The Forest does not allow cross-platform, meaning you must play with whatever console you are playing the game on. Still, though, the game does allow for up to eight people in one game, making the co-op experience great.

The only issue is, it can be hard to find eight people that own the same system as you. Having the option of cross-platform play is very helpful when it comes to a game such as The Forest.
