Just Volleyball Crossplay: PC-Only Reality

Just volleyball does not have crossplay in the console sense, because there is no console version. The game is a Windows PC release on Steam, and the store page lists no PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch build. Crossplay between PC and a console is therefore not a missing feature; it is a feature that has nothing to connect to.

What "crossplay" means here

Crossplay usually means players on different platforms can join the same match. For just volleyball, the relevant platforms are:

The Steam Deck is a PC in this table. If the game runs through Proton, it joins the same PC player pool. That is not crossplay in the marketing sense; it is the same platform with a different form factor.

Why there is no console version

The store page lists Windows only, and the system requirements name Windows 10 and Windows 11. There is no mention of a console certification, a console publisher, or a console launch window. Temkosoft is a small studio, and a simultaneous console launch would be a much larger project than the PC release described on Steam.

That does not rule out a console port later. Small games often ship on PC first and evaluate consoles after launch. But there is no announced plan, no rating, and no store listing. Treat console crossplay as unavailable until a platform holder announces it.

What PC players can do instead

Steam friends and lobbies

The core path is Steam. Add friends, create a lobby, invite them, and play. This works across regions and does not require any extra software.

LAN

LAN is the best option for a room full of PCs. It is not crossplay, but it is the lowest-latency way to play with people in the same building. The multiplayer guide covers the setup.

Remote Play Together

Steam Remote Play Together lets a friend join a local session as a streaming guest. The host runs the game; the guest sends inputs over the internet. The guest does not need to own the game, which makes it the closest thing to "cross-platform" play for a friend on a non-gaming laptop.

The catch is latency. Remote Play is fine for co-op and casual matches and poor for competitive 6v6. Both sides should be wired if possible.

Family sharing

Steam Family Sharing can let a household member play the game on their own account when the library is shared. It is not a way to play simultaneously on one copy; it is a way to share access. The store page lists Family Sharing as a feature.

Crossplay with Steam Deck

The Steam Deck runs the Windows build through Proton. If it works, it joins the same PC pool. There is no separate Deck server, and no crossplay toggle to enable.

The caveat is input. The game is designed around a mouse cursor, and the Deck's trackpads are the closest analogue. A Bluetooth mouse or a docked keyboard and mouse is the better experience. The Steam Deck guide covers the performance and control caveats.

Cross-progression and cloud saves

The developer's feature list mentions cloud save support, and Steam Cloud is listed on the store page. That means your save can follow your Steam account across PCs, including a Steam Deck. It does not mean your progress follows you to a PlayStation or an Xbox, because those versions do not exist.

Cloud save is not the same as crossplay. You can have one without the other. In this case, the cloud save is real (per the store listing) and the console crossplay is not.

What about Mac and Linux?

There is no native macOS or Linux build. Linux users can try Proton, and the Steam Deck is the most common Proton environment. macOS users have no official path; Apple's Game Porting Toolkit is not a supported configuration and may not handle the game's OpenGL renderer well.

If you are on a Mac and want to play, the practical options are a Windows PC, a Steam Deck, or a cloud PC. None of them are crossplay features; they are ways to run the PC build.

Will crossplay be added later?

No announcement exists. A console port would require certification, controller support, and a separate build, and the store page currently does not even list controller support for the PC version. If a console version is announced, crossplay would be a separate decision, not an automatic feature.

The honest answer is: do not buy the game expecting console crossplay. Buy it if you have a Windows PC and friends on Steam, or if you are comfortable with Remote Play for the occasional guest.

The bottom line

Just volleyball is a PC game. PC-to-PC multiplayer is well supported through Steam, LAN, and split-screen. Console crossplay is not available, and there is no evidence that a console version is in development. If you want to play with a friend on a console, the only workaround is a PC-based stream, which is a stretch.

The friends guide covers the practical setups, and the system requirements page tells you whether your PC can run the game.
