Hazard Levels Co-op & Crossplay Guide (1–4 Players)
Official Hazard Levels multiplayer facts: 1–4 online co-op, proximity chat, crossplay on Steam Epic PS5 Xbox at 1.0, platforms, and what docs do not specify.
FAQ
Does Hazard Levels have crossplay?
How many players is Hazard Levels co-op?
Does Hazard Levels have proximity chat?
Can you play Hazard Levels on PS5 and Xbox?
Is Hazard Levels split-screen?
How do you invite friends in Hazard Levels?
How many players can team up in Hazard Levels?
Every official channel we checked agrees: Hazard Levels is built for 1–4 players. The Steam short description says 1–4 player physics-driven co-op survival horror. Wales Interactive’s FAQ repeats online co-op for 1–4 players, playable alone or with up to three friends.
Some third-party sites list eight-player lobbies. Official sources say four, so treat larger numbers as errors unless Wales Interactive announces a change.
Does Hazard Levels support crossplay at 1.0?
The «Hazard Levels 1.0 is Out Now!» Steam announcement (12 Nov 2026) states:
Crossplay will be available across all platforms so be sure to grab your squad and get Crawling!
The same post says 1.0 is out on Steam, Epic, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. We read that as PC (both stores) and both consoles sharing one crossplay pool.
We do not have verified documentation for:
- Per-platform matchmaking or invite steps
- Any platform-specific restrictions on crossplay parties
Until we capture the in-game menus ourselves, we will not publish button-by-button invite tutorials. A November 2025 developer post described the pub’s telephone as the way to invite up to three friends into your shared hub (or to start solo); treat that as background, since menus may have changed.
Where can you buy and play multiplayer?
| Platform | Official 1.0 mention | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steam (PC) | Yes | Early Access began 30 Apr 2026 |
| Epic Games Store (PC) | Yes | Named in 1.0 launch post |
| PlayStation 5 | Yes | Wales platform list + launch post |
| Xbox Series X|S | Yes | Wales platform list + launch post |
Always confirm the store page in your region before assuming server population.
How does voice chat work?
Steam’s long description includes a header «1–4 PLAYER CO-OP HORROR WITH PROX CHAT» and says proximity voice chat enabled. Wales mirrors similar language.
Our suggestion, not an official instruction: if you rely on the built-in voice, stay close to your squad so you can hear each other.
Mechanics that punish splitting up—like sudden Rift Surges—are covered in Rift Surges explained.
Can you mix solo and co-op progression?
Steam tags both Single-player and Online Co-op, and the official copy does not say co-op is required for brewing or the bestiary. The beginner guide outlines the shared crawl loop regardless of party size.
Economy rebalance notes in the 1.0 post may shift payout pacing—check patch notes if your group mixes veterans and new crawlers.
What should squads prepare before crawling?
Verified systems that affect teamwork:
- Gravity Gauntlet multitarget physics (tips here)
- Throwable perk cocktails that can heal—or prank—teammates (brewing guide)
- Post Summary Screen showing earnings and challenges after each run
- Tutorial+ for onboarding friends at 1.0
Hub planning between runs lives in the Fox Hole Arms guide.
