Since the launch of Don't Starve Together we have been building resources for our players to be able to get cool item skins in lots of different ways. Now, players will be able to share these skins across all platforms.
We know there are a bunch of questions about this, some of which we have the answers to below.
How do I link accounts for Shared Unlocks on multiple platforms?
You will find a step-by-step guide on how to link your accounts for Shared Unlocks on our support site here: DST - How to Link Accounts for Shared Unlocks
How will this work after accounts are linked?
When players get drops, these drops are granted to your Klei Account and that's what you have in-game. When you link accounts, this allows you to use your items from other platforms while those accounts are linked.
Please note that you can only link a single account per platform (one Steam account, one PlayStation account, etc) and you should only do this with accounts that you own.
These entitlements will not be transferred to linked accounts but rather you will be given a read-only copy which cannot be turned into Spool or otherwise modified. You will be able to reverse this procedure if you make a mistake, but to avoid abuse you must wait 30 days before trying again.
Additionally, Bolts (Premium Currency) cannot be shared between platforms. Klei Points and Spools will not be shared or transferred to linked accounts, and will stay in their original account.
How are drops affected?
All connected accounts will share a single drop pool once connected. When you receive an item drop on one account, a read-only copy of that item will be accessible on your linked account.
Does that mean we get Crossplay soon?
No, but maybe? Just like shared unlocks, crossplay is something we would love to do. However along with it being a lot of work to implement these are things that aren't necessarily accessible to smaller teams like ours. But times are changing and hopefully in the future things like this will be made easier for all developers.
You can link accounts and access shared unlocks on multiple platforms by following the steps in our support guide.
If you are looking to unlink previously linked Klei Accounts, please follow the steps in our support guide.
