Space Engineers supports cross-platform play by default, enabling PC users to play with console players. Servers that support cross-platform play can be easily identified by browsing the 'eos' section of the server browser. Additionally, adding cross-platform to servers is fairly lightweight and simple, and can be made quickly to existing saves, ensuring console players can join ongoing playthroughs without issue.
