Palia is finally available to play on Steam, which marks the whimsical MMO's highly anticipated arrival on yet another platform. If you've already downloaded Singularity Six's cozy game elsewhere, whether that be directly through Palia's own launcher or on an entirely different device such as the Nintendo Switch, you may find yourself wondering if your previously hard-earned progress will transfer to another platform like Steam. Every game treats cross-platform support differently, which means there's never a clear-cut answer that covers every new release.

Cross-platform support isn't the only question that may come to mind, either. You may also be questioning cross-play, and whether or not you can play with your friends that own Palia on different platforms. Now that the MMO has made its way onto Steam, there are various ways to hop in-game and your pals may not all share the same method. As is the case with most online experiences, though, you'll likely want to join them even if you're using another platform. Our Palia cross-platform and cross-play guide explores both of these burning topics that may be on your mind following the game's arrival on Steam.

How to play cross-platform in Palia

Thankfully, Palia does indeed support cross-platform progression. This means that all of your data, including your character and farm, can transfer over to any new device you're using. To make use of the cross-progression in Palia, all you have to do is link your accounts. For instance, if you have an in-game account you use on an Epic Games Store copy or one via Steam, you just need to connect it to your Nintendo account to continue with all of the progress you've previously earned.
