7 Days to Die on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One — V2.6, Crossplay, Server Setup

7 Days to Die is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One. PC players are running V2.6 Stable (April 28, 2026) under the post-acquisition Behaviour Interactive / Fun Pimps team; the Xbox build typically lags PC by a release while the team validates console parity. Check the in-game version screen on your console to confirm which build you're on.

Gameplay overview on Xbox

  • Open-world survival horror that blends FPS combat, tower defense, crafting, and RPG progression.

  • Explore biomes up to roughly 100 square kilometers with caves, towns, and POIs.

  • Craft and upgrade 500+ items, from melee and firearms to vehicles and base defenses.

  • Face nearly 60 zombie types that scale in health and damage over time.

  • Blood Moon hordes hit every seventh in-game day; nights are much deadlier than daytime exploration.

Crossplay with PC

  • 7 Days to Die supports crossplay between Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) servers running EAC.

  • Console players use the in-game server browser to find PC-hosted servers; direct-IP connection is PC-only.

  • Modded PC servers reject Xbox clients — for crossplay, the host must run vanilla.

  • See the crossplay setup guide for the full configuration.

Xbox version details

  • Ships under continuous updates; features can change as patches roll out.

  • Includes Navezgane and Random Generated worlds; supports single-player, co-op, and multiplayer dedicated servers.
