Gunfire Games president and Remnant 2 director David Adams recently held an AMA on Reddit, where he confirmed the developer is "actively" working on crossplay.
You can segment your matchmaking population if the game is a competitive shooter. Generally though, people just want to play with their friends, so if it’s a co-op game, it can only be beneficial.
How does crossplay in shooters work?
are controllers genuinely competetive to mouse and keyboard?
Remnant 2 seems to be cooperative? So at worst console / controller players are less of a help?
In competitive games, as you pointed out, it doesn’t really. Usually they end up with controller only servers.
In a co-op game it doesn’t really matter that much. I would argue it’s more about the movement than the shooting anyway.
