Demo versus full game
| Mode | PC Demo | Full game plan |
|---|---|---|
| Solo | Yes | Yes |
| Local split-screen | Up to 2 players | Up to 2 players per device |
| Native online co-op | No | Up to 4 players total |
| Local and online combined | Remote Play streams local play | Supported, within the 4-player total |
| Crossplay | No native online mode | Announced for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 |
Four players on one device in split-screen is not supported. For the full game, four-player co-op means online play, potentially combined with local pairs on separate devices.
Playing the Demo remotely
Steam Remote Play Together streams the host’s local two-player session. Only the host needs to download the Demo. Your friend connects as the second local input rather than joining a native Hela online lobby.
If joining from the main menu triggers a network error, try the developer’s join-order workaround.
Full-game crossplay
Crossplay was announced for the full game’s planned December 1, 2026 launch. Up to four players are planned to be able to play together across PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
This announcement applies to the full game. It does not add native online multiplayer to the Demo.
Does crossplay include cross-save or a Friend’s Pass?
Friend’s Pass purchase and access rules have not been announced. Cross-save and account invitation details are also not confirmed. Do not treat Steam Remote Play Together as a promise about the full game’s Friend’s Pass.
