Introducing Cross-play with Epic Games

We’re pleased to announce that additional cross-play features for Chess Ultra have arrived in a new update!

Chess Ultra players on Steam can now play seamlessly with friends on Epic Games. You can also choose which friends list to play with and, for multiplayer matchmaking, you’ll find a larger pool of players to connect with across both Steam and Epic Games.

This update also includes performance and optimisation improvements, as well as a fix for a recently reported issue that was impacting players with Intel 11th Gen (and up) CPUs running Windows 11.

Please note: as a result of the update, there may be some downtime for Chess Ultra’s online multiplayer until around 8 PM GMT today.

We hope you enjoy it, and thanks as always for your support!
