Check the installed version, party platform, invites, and PS Plus on PS5. PC-to-PS5 crossplay is not confirmed in the official sources reviewed, so do not rely on it. These are diagnostic checks, not evidence that mixed-platform parties are the usual cause of queue failures.
Confirm the players' platforms before debugging the network. PC-to-PS5 crossplay is not confirmed as of 23 Oct 2026. Try a same-platform invite as a diagnostic comparison, not as a guaranteed fix.
On PS5, confirm the joining account has the required PlayStation Plus access. Check for updates on each platform and restart the game before retrying invites. Steam news lists patch 2.0.2; that does not establish the PS5 build number or rollout time.
Same platform, same patch, then invites.
PS5 crashes were acknowledged by the team on the Reddit sticky. A crash on load is not a matchmaking bug.
Steam discussions are the public log. I am not pasting a magic port forward, because I have not verified one.
What I will not tell you to do
I will not tell you to download an online fix. Those packages are the piracy cluster, and they are how people get banned or worse. If the official queue fails, the next step is the Discord linked from the Steam page and the Steam discussion for 3247750.
If the game launches and solo contracts work, matchmaking is not a dead install. Play solo or with a friend on the same store while you wait for a note.
FAQ
Why can't I matchmake in Mycopunk?
No single usual cause is established here. Check updates, same-platform invites, and PS Plus on PS5. Do not rely on unconfirmed PC-to-PS5 crossplay.
Does matchmaking need PS Plus?
Online play on PS5 needs PlayStation Plus. Steam does not add that subscription.
Is there a server status page?
No separate official status site was linked on the store page. Use Steam news and the official Discord.

Your browser did not save this choice for future pages. A rejection applies to this page and its privacy-marked reload only. A new page without that marker loads integrations by default.
