How to Play Multiplayer in PlateUp: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you're looking to spice up your PlateUp experience, playing with friends is a great way to do so. In the game's co-op mode, you can work together to create a dazzling, five-star salad restaurant. However, accessing multiplayer mode can be a bit confusing, especially for beginners. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of playing multiplayer in PlateUp on console and Steam.
Can You Play Cross-Platform Multiplayer in PlateUp?
Unfortunately, PlateUp does not currently support cross-platform play. This means that you and your friends will need to be playing the game on the same system, whether it's via Steam or on a console such as Nintendo Switch or Xbox.
How to Play Multiplayer in PlateUp on Console
- When you boot up your game of PlateUp on console, choose between Play or Online Play from the menu.
- Once you're in Online Play mode, use the Invite Friends feature to find your friends and invite them to your game.
- You will need to already be friends with the person you're trying to invite on that platform.
- You can invite up to three friends to your game in online multiplayer mode, for a total of four chefs in the kitchen.
Keep in mind that certain platforms, such as Xbox, may require their online subscription service to access online co-op. This information should be available in the game's description in your game store.
How to Play Multiplayer in PlateUp on Steam
- Begin by opening up the game in Steam and choosing the multiplayer mode from the main menu.
- You can choose to make your multiplayer game invite only or open.
- Use Shift + Tab to access the Steam overlay and invite friends directly, or tell them to go into Steam and hit join game.
- Once you hit start and your lobby is open, your friends will need to add an input device to fully join the game.
- They can do this by holding O on their controller or P on their keyboard to activate their profile and become an active member of your lobby.
Pro tip: even if your friends miss the original lobby or are coming late to the party, they can join the game late. As long as you don't already have four players, they can join during the buying and organizing part of each round.
Do You Get XP While Playing Multiplayer PlateUp?
When you play multiplayer PlateUp, you only officially play in one person's game. But don't worry, whatever experience you earn with friends will transfer to your own account.
When you're back in your own single-player lobby, you can access the grant button below your starting rooms and then get all that experience transferred to your own game. That way, you don't have to start back at the beginning just because you've been playing with friends.Related:
