Quake Remastered: How to cross-play?
To cross-play with friends on different platforms, you will have to use the room code system.
The room code is a 4 letter code that you can spot in the pre-game lobby, send this code to your friends through whichever medium you prefer, once they enter the code they will be able to join your lobby with ease.
It is mentioned that at times cross-play can be disabled on the system itself, so if you are facing trouble joining someone’s lobby then do ensure that cross-play has been enabled.
