Platforms that work together

Crossplay, checked game by game.

Gater checks specific platform models rather than broad platform categories. For example, PlayStation 4 can be distinguished from PlayStation 5, and Xbox One from Xbox Series X|S.

A cross-platform crew call is only considered when crossplay for that specific game and the selected platform models has been verified and recorded in Gater. Game modes or restrictions may also matter. If compatibility is unknown or unsupported, Gater won’t assume it works.

Good to know

Quick questions, clear answers.

Can I use Gater without Premium?

Yes. Core features for finding teammates, crew calls, profiles and chats are available without Premium. Premium adds the extras shown above.

Which Premium features are available?

Gater Premium includes gaming insights, profile customisation, a creator profile filter, extra themes and app icons, and Gater Lab. Additional search filters may be available for some accounts.

Do monthly and annual plans have the same features?

How do I manage or cancel my plan?

If you purchased a Gater Premium subscription through Apple, you can manage it through the Apple account used for the purchase. Find instructions in the Premium support. Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription.

Are Communities available in Gater 1.9?

The previous Community area is temporarily hidden in the public Gater 1.9 release. Crew calls, sessions, and direct and crew chats are unaffected. Hiding the area does not delete existing Community data.
