Players are trying to embark on a cooperative cyberpunk adventure in The Ascent, though ending up going it alone. There’s an online multiplayer bug preventing some users from joining co-op sessions with friends. But, is there a quick and easy The Ascent co-op multiplayer not working fix? Here’s the latest on connectivity issues in The Ascent for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Windows 10 and Steam).
The Ascent co-op multiplayer not working bug fix
Here’s what to do if The Ascent co-op multiplayer isn’t working on PC or Xbox:
- Close The Ascent game application.
- Reboot the PC or Xbox hardware.
- Check for new game updates.
- If playing on PC (where possible) switch to an Xbox — this problem seems less frequent on consoles.
- Switch from online to playing offline local couch co-op.
Unfortunately, there’s no known cause for The Ascent multiplayer not working glitch at the time of writing. Some players have been able to work around the issue by following the above steps, though users’ mileage may vary.
Swapping to an Xbox obviously won’t work for players that don’t own one, while no everybody can play with a local friend either. As a result, hopefully, Neon Giant and Curve Digital are quick to remedy this issue. The developers are likely aware of the online co-op multiplayer problem with The Ascent, so here’s hoping that the team is already working on a solution.
Once The Ascent online co-op is working as intended, will it support cross-platform play? Additionally, is it safe to use a cheat engine and play online? Get the answers to these questions at the relevant links.
