What is CrossCode?
CrossCode is a retro-inspired 2D Action RPG set in the distant future, combining 16-bit SNES-style graphics with butter-smooth physics, a fast-paced combat system, and engaging puzzle mechanics, served with a gripping sci-fi story. You follow a player called Lea as she logs into CrossWorlds - a fictional MMO of the distant future. Lea is not your average player though. She hast lost her memory and is (literally) mute. Now the only way to regain her memory is to play CrossWorlds, discovering all the places the game has to offer and meeting other players on the way - hoping they won't mistake her for a bot. As Lea's memory returns, a deep mystery surrounding CrossWorlds will be unraveled - and you may come to understand why a mute player is stuck in this game in the first place. CrossCode combines features of the Action-Adventure and RPG genre, delivering both, a great variety of puzzles and an engaging, fast-paced combat system with plenty of options for character growth.
Physical & Collectors versions:
"There is more to announce: We have partnered up with ININ Games to release physical editions of CrossCode. The game will be available for Switch and PS4 in all major retail stores in Europe and North America starting from August 28 2020.

CrossCode Review Thread
F.A.Q's:
Will the game be available on Xbox Game Pass?
Yes, the PC version is currently available and the console version will be available day one.

Is there any content exclusive to this version?
"Each console will have its own exclusive quest with its own little dungeon and bossfight. And since we thought that our loyal PC playerbase might feel left out: You'll get a free update with your own exclusive quest as well! And who knows? Maybe these quests are part of something bigger…"

That OST is fantastic, mind sharing a link?
I know, right? Here ya go: (Original) https://interovgm.com/album/crosscode-original-game-soundtrack
And here as well: (EX Version) https://interovgm.com/album/crosscode-original-soundtrack-ex
How is the performance on the switch version?
As mentioned in the review thread, from what we have seen so far the current version of CrossCode on Switch has some issues such as laggy menus, sound glitches, and frame drops in certain sections of the game (such as in towns filled with NPC's). Currently a patch for said menu lag and sound issues is currently planned for launch week.
How do the platforms break down in terms of resolution?
"Full resolution on all consoles aka 4k on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, 1080p on PS4, Xbox One and docked Switch, 1280x720 undocked. But that doesn't mean the game is non-pixelated, we just use all the pixels available to make those big pixels as sharp as possible."
