Good news: We just released Update #11 for Construction Simulator on PC, PlayStation and Xbox! For the first time in the history of the game series, the update opens the possibility to work together with players on other platforms in multiplayer and, if desired, communicate together via the new in-game voice chat. Another new feature are the new emotes for the players' characters! And not to forget: For mobile excavators, it is now possible to switch between driving and functional mode without resetting the body, boom and bucket! And…of course, there are also numerous fixes and general game improvements too!

New Feature: Crossplay Multiplayer Added crossplay: It is now possible to join multiplayer sessions from any platform – regardless, if you are playing the PC version on Steam, the Microsoft Store version or on PlayStation or Xbox.

• Added option to disable crossplay functionality in the settings under ONLINE. Crossplay is enabled by default for all platforms
  
• When creating a multiplayer game, crossplay can be enabled or disabled for that particular session
  

New Feature: Voice Chat Added voice chat for all platforms: Most related settings can be found under AUDIO > VOICE CHAT (only appears in-game, not in the main menu):

• Option for enabling/disabling voice chat
  
• Option for changing the audio output and input devices
  
• Option for setting voice chat volume
  
• Radio sound effect when players are far away from each other (can be deactivated)
  
• Possibility to block/unblock communication with other players
  
• Option for activating/deactivating push-to-talk
  
• Option to assign the button for push-to-talk under CONTROLS > HUD/MENU. Default key on a keyboard is “Left Alt”
  

Note: There are still some known issues regarding this new feature. We are working on them and will try to fix them in the future, but we can't make any promises yet.

• Voice chat quality is frame rate dependent and can therefore be poor on last-gen devices
  
• Last-gen-devices have issues with the voice chat sound after activating the microphone test in the audio settings. This can be fixed by restarting the game
  

New Feature: Emotes Added player emotes for the player’s characters in the game

• In the context menu, there is a new sub-category called EMOTES
  
• Each emote can also be assigned to a specific shortcut under CONTROLS > CHARACTER
  
• Some emotes are played as one-shot animations, after which the character will automatically return to their normal position
  
• For some emotes, the character will remain in a certain pose, until a new movement input is made
  

Mobile Excavator Improvements
It is now possible for wheeled hydraulic excavators to switch between driving and function mode without resetting the body, boom and bucket. Wheeled hydraulic excavators can now be used in the following ways:

• Driving while the shovel is filled with bulk
  
• Driving while transporting cargo
  
• Transporting a concrete bucket and pouring concrete while driving
  
• Rotate the body 180° to enable rear wheel steering
  

Multiple Vehicle Fixes & Improvements:

• Final changes on the amount of bulk material which excavator and dumpers can hold
  
• and many small fixes and improvements
  

General Game Improvements

• Some graphical fixes and improvements
  
• A number of general bugfixes and improvements
  

We wish you lots of fun on the construction sites!
