I haven't been able to find anything online, so, does anyone know if my wife and I can play on the same rig at home while having a couple friends online with us?

Im more curious if theres crossplay. Why does anything release without crossplay?

I think I read an article that said there was cross platform play.

Iirc Divinity OS 2 had couch co-op and online play simultaneously so I don't see why they wouldn't have that for BG3 as well

huh that's weird I saw an article that said it wasn't crossplay, but if it is crossplay this is big.

From what I heard couch coop is supposed to be one of the games big features. However, they may have had problems getting it working correctly and I have no clue if it will be in launch.

I know that was one of the reasons it was delayed for the PS5 because it just wasn't working at all. So, maybe they have it working for PC since they are releasing the game now.
