Developer Ghost Town Games and publisher Team17 have announced that Overcooked: All You Can Eat is coming to more platforms – including Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam – in March, and a crossplay update will come afterward, letting every platform experience the party kitchen madness together. The remastered compilation of both Overcooked games was initially announced in July 2020 and released as launch titles for both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
Overcooked: All You Can Eat features all the content released for both Overcooked and Overcooked 2, and the first game has been rebuilt using Overcooked 2‘s engine and enhanced visuals to enable online multiplayer games in the seminal title. For the collection, the graphics of both games have been markedly improved and support up to 4K 60fps gameplay. As for new content and features, Overcooked: All You Can Eat adds new levels and chefs, as well as new accessibility features and an assist mode to help make the game more approachable to a wider range of players.
Overcooked: All You Can Eat publisher Team17 has revealed the collection will be making its way to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and Steam on March 23. While the game will be available digitally on all these platforms, physical releases will be limited to the Switch and PS4. Team17 also announced an update that will add crossplay support to Overcooked: All You Can Eat, which is planned to allow players on all platforms to join each other’s games. Additionally, The Muppets’ Swedish Chef is currently available for download for free in Overcooked: All You Can Eat for a limited time.
When crossplay is finally enabled for Overcooked: All You Can Eat, those playing on the PS5 with a DualSense controller may hold a bit of an advantage against those from other platforms. One of the new features of Overcooked: All You Can Eat is the utilization of some of the DualSense controller’s features, such as the lightbar color matching the controlled character and the controller speaker mimicking the in-game warning signals. The more significant advantage lies in the DualSense controller’s directional haptic feedback, meaning certain parts of the controller vibrate in order to warn players when something important is happening in-game.
It’s great that Overcooked: All You Can Eat is finally coming to more platforms and will eventually support crossplay across all of them, becoming one of a growing list of games that support the feature. It’s even better that platforms aside from PS5 and Xbox Series X/S are getting the full Overcooked collection, as its massive upgrades to each game make it the definitive version of each.
Overcooked: All You Can Eat is available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, and it will be available on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on March 23, 2021.
