Mycopunk Co-op & Crossplay: Squad Play Explained
Mycopunk is built for four-robot squads. Here is what is confirmed about platforms and crossplay, plus the squad habits the game's systems actually reward.
Last updated:
The Co-op Setup
Mycopunk is a 4-player online co-op looter shooter. The Steam listing carries Single-player, Multi-player, Co-op and Online Co-op tags, and the game shipped on PC with a PlayStation 5 version alongside the 1.0 launch — the official 1.0 launch trailer is literally titled "Out Now on PC and PlayStation 5."
Coverage of the launch describes the PC and PS5 versions as supporting crossplay co-op. Treat any wider platform claims (Xbox, Switch) as unconfirmed until Pigeons at Play or Devolver Digital announces them — see our platform availability page for what is verified.
Squad Roles the Game Rewards
Because enemies evolve — they grab blasted-off bits and grow stronger — a squad that leaves stragglers alive is feeding the next wave. The game's own pitch says it plainly: combine upgraded abilities and customized weapons into synergistic builds, or just shoot each other (friendly fire is real).
| Role | Job | Good tools |
|---|---|---|
| Crowd clear | Delete hordes before they evolve | Plate Launcher, Globbler, Swarm Launcher |
| Boss damage | Delete big targets and Abominations | Lead Flinger, Gunship Cannon |
| Support | Keep the squad's ammo and health flowing | Charging Port builds, healing rockets |
Habits That Keep Squads Alive
- Fallen allies can be pieced back together from their scattered bits — as long as someone survives to gather them. Do not all rush the same revive.
- Share the map's upgrade drops: a bad piece for your grid may complete a teammate's.
- Pair squad loadouts, not just personal ones. Two crowd-clear guns and zero boss damage is a wipe timer.
- Use the dropship hub between missions to rebuild grids with the team — the upgrade grid rewards planning time.
Does Mycopunk have crossplay?
Mycopunk launched 1.0 on PC and PlayStation 5, and launch coverage describes crossplay co-op between them. Check the official channels for any new platforms before buying for crossplay.
How many players does Mycopunk support?
Mycopunk supports 4-player online co-op squads, with a single-player option for running missions alone.
Can you play Mycopunk split screen?
No split-screen has been announced. Mycopunk's co-op is online, with each player on their own machine.
