Yes โ Sky: Children of the Light is cross-platform between iPhone and Android, which is the single most useful thing to know about it if you and your partner are on different phones.
What cross-platform actually means here
Cross-platform play means the version on your partner's phone and the version on yours are the same game and the same servers. You are not looking at separate iOS and Android worlds that never meet โ you install it on whatever you each already own and play together from there.
Sky: Children of the Light is on both the App Store and Google Play, so it does not matter which of you is on iPhone and which is on Android.
Setting it up on two different phones
- Install Sky: Children of the Light on each phone from whichever store you use.
- Create or join the same co-op room.
- Team up and take on the levels together.
- If one of you cannot see the other, check you are both signed in to the same kind of account โ that is the usual culprit, not the phone.
Nine times out of ten a "we cannot find each other" problem is an account problem, not an iPhone-versus-Android problem.
Is Sky: Children of the Light worth it for two players?
Cross-platform is only useful if the game is any good with two people. Sky: Children of the Light is a co-op adventure and it is more fun with a partner than it ever is alone, which is what makes it work as a couple game rather than just a game you both happen to own.
- Built for co-op, so you win and lose as a team.
- Great for tackling challenges together instead of competing.
- Works whether you are on the same couch or on a call.

Frequently asked questions
- Is Sky: Children of the Light cross-platform between iPhone and Android?

- Can I play Sky: Children of the Light with my partner if we have different phones?
- You can. Different phones are fine as long as you both install Sky: Children of the Light and link up in-game โ the platform difference does not separate you.
- Do we need the same store account for Sky: Children of the Light?
