Can you play Shift At Midnight together?
Shift At Midnight has partial crossplay, and the split does not follow PC-vs-console — it follows where you bought it. Pick each player's store below.

The rule behind the answer
There are two matchmaking pools, not four. Steam is one pool by itself. Xbox Series X|S, PC Game Pass and a bought Microsoft Store copy are the second pool — they interoperate because of Xbox Play Anywhere. Nothing crosses between the two.
| Your platform | Can play with | Cannot play with |
|---|---|---|
| Steam (Windows) | Steam only | Xbox console, PC Game Pass, Microsoft Store |
| Xbox Series X|S | Xbox + PC Game Pass | Steam |
| PC Game Pass | Xbox + PC Game Pass | Steam |
| Microsoft Store (bought) | Xbox + PC Game Pass | Steam |
The developer has said full crossplay and a server browser are planned, but they are not in the launch build. Until that ships, the table above is the whole story. Background and sourcing on the crossplay page.
If the answer is no
The cheapest fix is almost always PC Game Pass rather than buying a second copy: it puts a Steam-side player into the Xbox pool for the price of a month's subscription instead of another $9.99. See Game Pass and price.
