Usually cross platform does not mean Steam/GoG, those are stores not platforms generally, but ever since Epic that might be changing. Stellaris 2 on the other hand is a primarily offline single player game, with an option to host multiplayer matches if you want.Īs for cross platform, it usually means the multiplayer, whether it's optional or forced, allows you to play with people on other "platforms." Usually in this case "PC" is a platform, as is Mac, Linux, Xbox, Playstation, etc.

An always online game with forced multiplayer can also have the "single player" tag because you can play "solo." IE Path of Exile and Destiny 2 both have the "Single Player" tag, but they are both always online multiplayer games and you can't avoid seeing or often interacting with other players. Originally posted by Astasia:If the question is about the general use of those tags on Steam, it doesn't always mean the same thing.
