Conan Exiles Enhanced Comes to PS5 and Xbox in 2027, with Full Crossplay Confirmed

Full crossplay between PC, PS5 and Xbox

The biggest announcement is not simply the arrival of Conan Exiles Enhanced on current-generation consoles. It is Funcom's confirmation that full crossplay is coming to the Enhanced edition.

This means the studio intends to bring together the currently separate PC, PlayStation and Xbox player communities. Friends using different platforms could eventually explore the same persistent world, cooperate on construction projects, or compete in multiplayer battles.

For community administrators, the potential benefits are substantial. Cross-platform multiplayer could make it easier to maintain active communities and bring together groups of friends who previously could not play together.

Until those technical details are published, server owners should not assume that an existing PC dedicated server will automatically accept console connections.

What changes with Conan Exiles Enhanced?

Already available to Steam players, Conan Exiles Enhanced introduces a major technical and visual overhaul of Funcom's survival game. The console release will bring these improvements to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

The Enhanced edition will be available as a free upgrade for existing console owners. Players who own Conan Exiles on PS4 or Xbox One will receive access to the corresponding current-generation Enhanced version.

Existing purchases, including DLC, Bazaar items, Crom Coins and Twitch Drops, will carry over to Enhanced. Funcom has also confirmed that the Legacy of the Giant-Kings content released on PC will be available on consoles at launch.

Save migration: what happens to bases and characters?

Moving to Conan Exiles Enhanced is not just a graphical upgrade. It also changes the structure of the game world, making save migration one of the most important issues for long-running multiplayer communities.

Exiled Lands: official server progress is preserved

Funcom confirms that official Legacy servers running the Exiled Lands will be upgraded to Enhanced. Existing characters, followers and bases on those servers will carry forward during the transition.

This is reassuring for players who have invested hundreds of hours in their settlements and progression.

Isle of Siptah: existing bases cannot be preserved

The situation is different for the Isle of Siptah. Because the island is now part of the larger Enhanced world, its physical coordinates have changed.

As a result, existing bases built on the Isle of Siptah cannot be preserved during the official server migration.

Enhanced saves cannot return to Legacy

Single-player saves can move from Legacy to Enhanced, but the conversion is one-way. Once a save has been loaded in Enhanced, it cannot subsequently be opened in Legacy.

This is particularly important for console players who may have limited options for creating independent save backups.

Private server administrators should also keep separate backups before attempting any future migration, although Funcom has not yet published the complete private-server conversion procedure.

Conan Exiles Legacy: private servers can continue

Not every community will want to migrate immediately. Some administrators may prefer their existing world, their current configuration, or a set of mods that has not yet been prepared for Enhanced.

Funcom confirms that Conan Exiles Legacy will remain accessible on consoles, but its long-term support will be limited.

Players intending to remain on Legacy should pay particular attention to their Crom Coins. Funcom recommends spending any remaining currency before the Enhanced console release if they do not intend to migrate.

For private communities, the most important takeaway is that Legacy hosting is not being eliminated. However, remaining on Legacy means continuing with a version that will no longer receive major content expansions.

What does crossplay mean for private dedicated servers?

This is the biggest unanswered question for multiplayer communities and server hosting providers.

Full crossplay has been officially announced for Conan Exiles Enhanced, but Funcom has not yet confirmed the technical requirements for privately hosted cross-platform servers.

In particular, the studio has not published definitive information about whether console players will be able to connect to an existing PC dedicated server hosted by an independent provider, or whether additional configuration or compatibility requirements will apply.

The announcement also does not establish whether modded PC servers will be compatible with console clients under the future crossplay system.

How server administrators should prepare

There is no reason to rush into a migration before Funcom releases its technical documentation. Communities can already prepare for the transition by reviewing their existing infrastructure and preserving important server data.

1. Back up existing worlds: Keep independent copies of your save files and relevant configuration data wherever possible.
2. Document your server setup: Record active mods, gameplay settings, administrative permissions and any custom configuration.
3. Review Isle of Siptah content: Inform players of the confirmed limitations before planning the transition.
4. Keep Legacy backups separate: Avoid overwriting an existing world with converted data before you understand the migration process.
5. Follow official announcements: Wait for Funcom's private-server instructions and crossplay compatibility details.

VeryGames currently offers hosting for both Conan Exiles Enhanced and Conan Exiles Legacy through its DediGames® Box platform. Administrators can manage their server versions, configuration and backups through the hosting control panel.

The existing hosting options are available today, independently of the future console crossplay feature. Support for console connections on privately hosted servers will depend on the technical framework eventually announced by Funcom.
