Console players can now experience the thrill of survival at sea from the comfort of their couches. Build, scavenge, and explore the vast open ocean with all the immersive features that the PS5 and XBOX SERIES X/S has to offer.
Steam Version Updates!
There is also some great news for all you PC players! A new version of the game is available on the Raft Beta Branch that lets you enjoy the open ocean in new ways!
Cross-play
Survival is better with friends! Crossplay ensures that you can join forces with players across platforms, uniting the entire community in the quest for survival.
Controller Support
If you want to enjoy Raft on the big screen, or simply just put your mouse and keyboard to the side, you can finally lean back and enjoy full controller support!
In Game Voice Chat
Communication is key when venturing out onto the great seas! That is why we have now added crisply clear voice chat support, directly in Raft!
Opt in!
Adding all these features means shuffling around a bit in the good ol’ code base. To be on the safe side, all these new features will currently only be available on our Beta branch here on Steam. This lets us stress test the new features, gather your feedback and make sure everything is as it should once we release it to the masses.
So, if you want to try the new version follow these steps;
- [*]Go to your Steam Library, right click Raft and choose Properties.
[*]In the new window, navigate to Betas on the left hand panel.
[*]In the Beta Participation drop-down menu, choose 'beta'.
[*]Restart Steam to make sure the game updates.
WARNING!
The Beta branch is a test version of the update. Please back up your save files before proceeding, as this version may contain bugs that could corrupt game data.
