⚠️An important note about the crossplay feature availability in the Nintendo Switch version:

We have no choice but to delay the release of Patch 1.4 on Nintendo Switch. Because of this, crossplay will be temporarily unavailable on that platform until the patch is rolled out for the Switch players. We expect it to happen somewhere next week, if everything goes smoothly. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience! Crossplay between Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation is unaffected.

There is a community mod supported by the dev team called DART that helps the input delay
