The useful answer

PC, Mac and PS5 players can play together using crossplay and an active join code. They should enable crossplay and match the first two game-version numbers.

Step by step

  1. Enable crossplay on both systems.
  2. Have the host enter the world.
  3. Share the active code.
  4. Compare versions and system time if the connection fails.

Why players get stuck here

Platform friends lists do not cross systems, so use the code instead of waiting for the other player to appear as a friend.

Verify it before moving on

Before inviting everyone, agree on the host, world size, voice or text preference and the next session time. Those four details prevent most groups from losing progress or creating a world they cannot continue.
