Sometimes this can make things complicated because some games don't allow you to play with another person that's from a different service. But Remnant From The Ashes has Epic Games and Steam crossplay.

Add Your Friend On Epic Games

To successfully co-op using Steam and Epic, the first step for the Steam user is to add your friend on Epic Games. If you don't have an Epic Games account, you'll have to make one just for this purpose.

To add a friend on Epic Games, click Friends on the left side of the application underneath Library. You will see your friends list in a new, smaller window. At the very top will be your icon where you can adjust your online status, an Add Friend option, and a Social Setting. Click Add Friend. Type in your friend's username or email and press send. Your friend has to accept the request for this to be set in stone.

After you do all this, there's just a tiny bit more. You linked your Steam account and became friends on Epic, but now you have to link Remnant From The Ashes itself to Epic Games. To do this, launch the game from your Steam profile.
