FAQ
Shift At Midnight quick answers
Is Shift At Midnight crossplay?
Xbox and PC Game Pass players have crossplay. Steam players can play with other Steam players, not the Xbox/Game Pass pool, according to the developer platform announcement.
How many players does Shift At Midnight support?
The game is designed and marketed around up to three players, including solo. A day-one Steam patch lets lobby hosts select up to six, with an explicit developer warning that 4–6 is outside the designed experience.
Can you play Shift At Midnight solo?
Yes. The launch announcement says you can play solo or with up to two extra friends.
How is the demo different from the full game?
The Steam multiplayer demo has three pre-scripted shifts and limited tools and weapons. The full game has 13 randomly generated story shifts and an unlockable Endless Mode beta.
