Techland also gave aco-op gameplay preview ofDying Light 2as well, with lead game designer Tymon Smektala answering a few questions afterward in a Q&A. In this co-op showcase, Smektala confirmed that players could completeDying Light 2in four-player co-op, completing the entire campaign with friends.

Smektala confirmedDying Light 2won’t feature crossplay but doesn’t go as far as to say that it won’t ever have the feature. While sometimes controversial in multiplayer games, as many console players are pit against PC players, crossplay in a co-op game is just a welcome addition. Specifically, Smektala answered a question aboutDying Light 2and crossplay, stating, “no, not at this moment. It won’t be available.” Relevant part begins around the 58:26-minute mark below.
Another question was posed on whether or not co-op would feature cross-gen, allowing PS4 players to play with friends who are on PS5. Smektala stated that it won’t be possible at launch, but Techland is “working to make it possible after launch.” A specific timeline of when players could expect this after launch wasn’t provided, but more details about this may come in closer toDying Light 2’s launch.
While this may be a bummer for some fans, there’s no doubting the sheer hype around the game. It’s easily one of themost anticipated games of 2022, including early 2022. Given thatHorizon Forbidden WestandElden Ringalso launch in February, fans may have a hard time picking between these three games if they can’t afford all three. Not to mention, there are several other titles also slated for release in February, includingSifu, Lost Ark, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Monark, and more.
Dying Light 2: Stay Humanwill be released on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on Jun 23, 2025.
