PlateUp! Console Platforms
Branching out to consoles has made sure to make the game more accessible than ever before. As we near PlateUp!’s release date, here are all the platforms it will be available on:
- Nintendo Switch
- PlayStation 4
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X/S
- Xbox One
- Microsoft Windows
Android players will still have to wait their turn because the game is a bit too heavy to release on mobile yet. Besides that, the game will be accessible on all these platforms following the PlateUp! release date.
PlateUp! Gameplay Features
PlateUp! might just be a food simulation game but it encompasses all aspects of running a restaurant. From serving your customers in a timely fashion to upgrading and automating your restaurant for more efficient service, you’ll have to take care of it all. Of course, plating and good food takes precedence over all so keep that in mind when you’re standing in the bustling kitchen.
Players will need to get through a 15-day period in-game with each day getting increasingly difficult. Don’t worry, though; The game gives you a prepping period so you aren’t pushed for time. But once that’s over, it’s all hands on deck.
PlateUp! Co-Op Feature
The fact that players will team up with 3 other players in co-op to take on this monumental task is no secret. The console version will follow the same type of gameplay as we see in the PC version and all other updates. But for those unaware of this setup, here’s how it works.
The game requires a team of 4 players to work together to run a successful and bustling restaurant. These four players can be connected locally through the same access point, or you can link up with your friends online. Coordination and teamwork are essential when it comes to succeeding in PlateUp! otherwise, this new food venture will crash and burn. You can also go at it alone in solo player mode but that will be all the more difficult.
Whether or not cross-platform gameplay will be available on PlateUp!’s release date is yet to be seen but here’s what PlateUp!’s community manager had to say on Reddit: “Crossplay is something we would love to bring to the game – however, due to the developmental differences between PlateUp! PC and the various console versions, we have decided not to focus on crossplay compatibility for the console launch. We would still love to bring crossplay to PlateUp! in the future.”

Alongside the game’s console launch, players can also get their hands on some free goodies inside PlateUp!’s Collector Edition pre-order.
