What is Lightyear Frontier like?

Plant and harvest from a mech on an alien planet, with no enemies and up to three friends.

One of you hosts from the Multiplayer menu, with a new world or one you started alone, and can set a password. Friends join with an invite sent from the menu or with an invite code, and four can play at once. Crossplay between PC and Xbox is on by default and can't be turned off. You split planting, building and exploring between you. The world lives on the host's machine, so friends can only play while the host has it running.
