Steam players no longer require a Microsoft Account to play multiplayer

  • While not logged into a Microsoft Account, you can host and join standard world multiplayer sessions with players from your Steam friends list

  • Note: a Microsoft Account is still required for Crossplay, Shared Worlds and Playgrounds

    Sometimes I wish Steam would just change their policies to force all games on Steam to make it so any content that requires a 3rd party account would still work if you decide to just use your Steam account. Last time I checked, the MMORPG Dofus didn’t require you to use an Ankama account on the Steam version (unless that’s changed), so why can’t others take that as the cream of the crop example of what to do?

      “Worth it anyway” to have additional functionality?

        I didn’t realize when I got it that I needed to sign in to my Microsoft account to play multiplayer, which was the whole reason why I got it on steam. I played it before when it was on game pass, but I’ve since cancelled my subscription and I wanted to play the game.
