Cross platform between console and pc in future

[TheFireDONUT1]

I would love to play this game with my friends but most of them are on console. we struggle to find games to play together, and we deal with it as it is. I understand this is a big suggestion because it's still early access, but it would be awesome to see more games with Cross platform

ye we sure need console so the we have to wait 2x as long so all stuff works for both sides just like minecraft java and bedrock instead of focusing on one thing

Oh, gawds, no! Have you seen what happened to other games that decided to support console, or even just controllers? Either they are simplified to the point that it's something you can do on a console, or, even worse, the UI transmogrified into bumper menus. Things that used to be simple as moving a mouse cursor become painful, as the pointer "snaps" to the next thing the game thinks it should, regardless of your actual intent, or where you think you have the mouse pointed. And the keyboard is just as bad or worse, there being only so many buttons one has on a controller, so simple things like opening the map turns from simply pressing "M"  into ordeals of selecting the shortcut having the option you want, then scrolling (or A/D) over to the map icon.

Welcome to the forums, @TheFireDONUT1, but, please, seek out crossovers from console, not to console.

Welcome to the forums! Quoting from the FAQ section:

Are there any plans to ever bring VS to mobile or consoles?
Unlikely that we can realisticly bring the full VS experience to mobile, but we do hope get the game on consoles some day. The game does currently run on a Steam Deck - with a bit of configuration required, check the forum for setup details.

So it looks like a console version is planned, but I doubt it's coming anytime soon. If it happens at all, it would be something I would expect to see once the game is considered complete(all story chapters implemented).

That being said...I have to agree with @Thorfinn on this one, for the most part. I'm not sure how you port something as complex as Vintage Story to a console and still retain the same experience. It's difficult to offer the exact same experience for both pc and console without either limiting features on pc so that consoles can handle the game, or stripping out features from the base pc version so it can run on consoles. If Anego Studios can manage to make it happen without sacrificing quality, that would be super, but like I said before, if it's possible to accomplish that, I don't think it's actually feasible to do so until the game is complete.

From a movement/inventory perspective, it's still pretty similar to that other game, which does have a console version. Has anyone played it?
