Is Overcooked 2 cross-platform?

There’s something to be said about co-op video games that can truly test your friendship, and Overcooked 2 is one such game. As with the first game, you’ll be barking requests and orders amongst yourselves to balance orders, ingredients, and the cooking process, but can you put your friends through the wringer on other platforms?
The answer isn’t as easy as you may expect, and while Overcooked 2 is a cross-platform game, there are some caveats. Here’s all you need to know about filling your kitchen with your friends.
The reason this is a complicated question is that Overcooked 2, the original standalone release, is not cross-platform. If you purchased this game in its original form when it came out, PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo players are all locked to their own ecosystems.
However, if you own Overcooked 2 via the All You Can Eat collection that bundles in all the content from the first and second games in an updated package, then it does have full cross-platform support. With this version, you can have one player on PlayStation, another on Xbox, a third on Switch, and a fourth on PC with no issues.
Make sure you check which version of the game you have to know if you can start cooking with your friends on other systems.
It’s a bizarre system, and one we’ve been hoping Team17 might look to correct to allow cross-platform play across all versions of the game, but it’s likely that developer Ghost Town Games has been working on the game’s newest Switch 2 port.
The new version includes a higher 60FPS frame rate and 4K resolution on Nintendo’s new console, as well as support for GameChat, GameShare, and Camera Play (which you’ll see in action in the trailer above).
The upgrade will set you back $9.99/£7.99, but it does at least include a new chef – The Pristine Platinum Platypus.

The heart of the project is a trimmed and modified PS4 Slim motherboard, cut down to shrink the system without losing core functionality. To keep the handheld from cooking itself, the design leans on a reworked cooling setup plus active safeguards. An onboard ESP32 running custom firmware monitors temperatures and power behavior, and it can enforce thermal limits and trigger an emergency shutdown.
