After a beta period of PC, Dauntless is now available on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as relaunching on PC through the Epic Games Store. It’s possible to play Dauntless crossplay between certain systems - with the possibility of Dauntless Switch and Dauntless mobile crossplay down the line, too.

Though developer Phoenix Labs has confirmed the above Dauntless release times, as with any game launch, the timing could vary slightly per platform. There will be no Dauntless pre-load available, meaning assuming all goes smoothly, the above times is when you can start downloading the client and get playing. Remember, the only way to get Dauntless on PC is through the Epic Games Store - there are no plans for a Steam version for now. You can read the Dauntless patch notes to see what’s new in the console and Epic Store release. This means logging in with your account on any platform will allow you to continue your Dauntless progress - and play with others on the system of their choice. Dauntless crossplay was a vision for the game from the very start. Here’s the official statement on the developer’s intentions: “We think that Slayers should be able to play together no matter where they’re playing from - be it Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or the Epic Games store. That’s why we’re hard at work making “One Dauntless” a reality.” To clarify this further, when replying to users on Twitter, the official account said it is “aiming for a totally cross-platform and cross-progression experience”. The longer answer is they’re not here yet - Dauntless Switch, iOS and Android aren’t launching alongside the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions, and there’s no estimated release date, either. All we know is Phoenix Labs is working on them. With Dauntless crossplay on offer for existing platforms, it’s likely crossplay is also the aim for the Switch and mobile versions, too.
