This is a duo game, not a three- or four-player raid. You can clear the campaign alone, then invite one friend when you want a second blade beside you.
How a co-op hunt works
Your ally is more than extra damage. The pair shares lives, can resurrect a fallen partner, and can combine Weapon Arts and complementary builds. Enemy composition and difficulty adjust for the extra Nephilim, so bringing a friend does not simply turn every boss into free loot.
What carries over?
Gear successfully purified at the end of a completed run becomes permanent. Co-op does not replace the normal extraction-style risk: fail the run and unpurified finds can still disappear.
Is Crimson Moon crossplay?
No official source in the supplied launch material confirms PC–PlayStation–Xbox crossplay. Treat cross-platform parties as unconfirmed for now. If you are buying specifically to play with a friend, choose the same platform family until the developer publishes a clear compatibility statement.
Should you play solo or co-op?
Solo gives you full control over the shared-life problem and makes enemy attention easier to read. Co-op opens up revives, skill synergies, and split pressure on large targets. New players should learn one weapon setup solo, then move into co-op once dodges and revival timing feel natural.
