Killers,

You’ve been asking for years to allow Ranked Crossplay between Steam and Xbox/Windows. Thanks to some fancy new services, now available to us in Killer Instinct: Anniversary Edition, we are going to give it an initial (very experimental) test run. 

Ranked Crossplay Test

Starts: Friday, February 9, at 12 PM PST

Ends: Monday, February 12, at 8 AM PST 

Get ready, new rivals are coming your way – but with a few important caveats we’d like you to keep in mind before playing and giving us feedback:  

• Ranked Leaderboards for both Xbox/Windows and Steam will remain separate. 
  • This is a necessary compromise for us to allow Ranked Crossplay.
  • Example: If a Steam player gets a win over an Xbox player, the Steam player will gain points for the Steam Leaderboard, while the Xbox player will lose points for the Xbox Leaderboard. 
• During this test window, the Block Cross-Network Play function will be bypassed in Ranked mode only. By playing Ranked, you are opting in to playing Cross-Network during this time. Other online modes are not affected. 
• If you are an Xbox player concerned about performance while playing against PC users, remember: Both the Windows and Steam versions of the game require players to pass a performance test requiring 60 FPS before playing online, ensuring that your matches will feel great.  

This Ranked Crossplay Test will help determine if we will add this feature in a future update, pending evaluation of results and the community’s feedback. Let us know how you feel, and we’ll do everything we can to make it the best experience for everyone.
