Buddy of mine just picked up No Man’s Sky on Switch but it lacks the multiplayer features of other systems.

He only has Switch and I only have PC so I’ve come here to ask:

Aside from Minecraft or Terraria what other games are available on both Switch and PC that we could play cooperatively together?

Also it’s totally fine if I need to host a dedicated server for it.

Edit: specifically need PC version playable on Linux and ideally something open world.

I think Rocket League is cross-platform.

Fall Guys. And Pokémon Unite, but you’d have to emulate the Android on your PC and I haven’t been successful on Linux.

I haven’t, but it’s a bare bones emulator, isn’t it? You also need some mapping software for that game to work.

It gives a full android environment, just sideload whatever apk you need.

Palia has crossplay between PC and Switch. It’s not your average game but has a great community.

I play Fortnite cross platform with Switch and PC. The Lego mod is open world. I’m not sure it’s playable on Linux.
