Legendary Tales VR: Cross-Buy on Quest, Steam & PSVR2

Yes, you can play Legendary Tales across Quest, Steam, and PSVR2, but cross-buy and cross-progression are not universal. The game supports cross-play between all three platforms, but you must purchase it separately for each store, and your save data does not automatically sync between them.

Background: What Legendary Tales Is

Legendary Tales is a VR action RPG developed by Urban Wolf Games, released in early access on Steam in 2021 and later on Quest and PSVR2. It features physics-based melee and spell combat, a loot system, and cooperative multiplayer for up to four players. The game is known for its dark fantasy setting and deep character builds, drawing comparisons to titles like Skyrim VR and Dark Souls, but with a focus on realistic weapon handling and interactive environments.

Cross-Platform Support: What Works

Cross-play is fully supported. A player on a Meta Quest 2 can join a session with someone on a PC via Steam, and both can play with a friend on PSVR2. This is enabled through the game’s online multiplayer system, which uses a unified backend for all platforms. However, cross-play does not extend to cross-buy or cross-save.

Cross-buy means purchasing the game once and owning it on multiple stores (e.g., buying on Quest and getting the Rift/PC version free). Legendary Tales does not participate in Meta’s cross-buy program, so buying it on the Quest store does not grant a Steam key, and vice versa. Similarly, PSVR2 purchases are entirely separate.

Cross-Save and Progression

Your character and progress are stored locally on each platform. If you play on Quest, your saves are on the headset; on Steam, they are in the PC’s local files; on PSVR2, they are on the console. There is no cloud-sync feature that shares progress across platforms. This means if you switch from Quest to Steam, you start a new character. The only exception is if you use a tool like a save editor or manually transfer files, which is not officially supported and can risk corruption.

How to Choose Your Platform

Your choice depends on your hardware and preferences:

• Quest (standalone): Best for portability and ease of use, but with lower graphical fidelity and smaller player base for co-op.
• Steam (PC VR): Best for graphics and modding potential, but requires a VR-ready PC and a compatible headset (Index, Vive, Rift, or Quest via Link).
• PSVR2: Best for console simplicity and haptic feedback, but requires a PS5 and the PSVR2 headset.

If you plan to play with friends, check which platform they own, as cross-play works but you’ll all need your own copy.

Common Problems and Workarounds

Players often encounter issues with cross-play invites and voice chat. To join a friend on another platform, use the in-game friend system or create a private room with a code. Voice chat may not work across platforms, so using Discord or a party chat is recommended. If you experience connection drops, ensure your NAT type is open and your internet is stable.

Cost and Value Comparison

As of early 2025, Legendary Tales is priced at $39.99 on all three stores, though sales occasionally reduce it. Buying it on two platforms costs double, which is a significant consideration. If you primarily play alone, the single-platform purchase is sufficient. If you have friends on multiple platforms, you might wait for a sale to buy a second copy.

Alternatives to Consider

If cross-buy is a dealbreaker, consider other cross-buy VR RPGs like In Death: Unchained (Quest and PC) or Demeo (which supports cross-play and cross-buy on some platforms). However, none offer the same physics-based combat as Legendary Tales.
