Remnant: From the Ashes Xbox One review — Is it worth buying?
Public matchmaking is exactly what it sounds like. While it wasn't working before, it's working now and is amazing. If you make your game Public, then other people will automatically join you once you join a session. If you don't want to play your own campaign, then you can also join a public game through the same menu. Keep in mind that your progress doesn't transfer over. All in all, Remnant: From the Ashes is even better as a multiplayer because it eases some of the pressure of the boss fights.
