Gaming has come a long way since the days of locking multiplayer games between consoles, PC, and even mobile. It wasn’t that long ago that if you wanted to play an online game with your friends, you all had to be playing on the same system. Now, however, more and more titles are embracing the cross-platform future in which it doesn’t matter where you own a game. As long as you and your friends all have it, you can match up regardless of whether you’re on PC or console. MultiVersus is not only a game that heavily relies on a thriving and populated online community to function but is also free to play. Both factors mean that the developers want as many people playing as possible, with no barriers to entry. So, naturally, they would want to include cross-platform support, right? If you’re unsure if you can play with others on different systems, and if so whether you can swap between platforms yourself and not lose progress, here’s a full breakdown of MultiVersus’ cross-platform support. Yes, even in the beta phase MultiVersus has full cross-platform support across all consoles and PC. You can play with, and against, players on any other platform at any time, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Unfortunately, the game is not out on Switch, leaving that platform as the one missing link. If the game does eventually make its way to Switch, we expect it to have cross-platform support at launch. Additionally, MultiVersus also has complete cross-progression support so you can carry over any characters, cosmetics, and battle pass progression you have on one system and pick it up on another. You’re never stuck on one platform in this hit platform fighter, so get out there and get brawling with your friends! Once you and your friends have fought enough in MultiVersus, be sure to check out some of the other best cross-platform games out right now. In the pantheon of the best fighting games, Virtua Fighter has fallen out of the spotlight in recent years. Thankfully, the upcoming video game Virtua Fighter 6 is poised to bring the series back to its former glory, but before that, we got a new version of the previous latest entry called Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. While it isn’t quite a remake, this latest version is the definitive way to play this technical fighter. That said, the audience for this series is still smaller than most, so your ability to get online matches might be a concern. If you’re curious whether or not this new version was given cross-platform support to increase the pool of players you can compete against, we’ll give you the full breakdown. Is Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O cross-platform? There are only a handful of games we can confidently say are even close to being as fun to play in co-op as the Borderlands games.

Borderlands 4 is the newest entry in the franchise that began in 2009, and the big question isn’t about the story, the guns, or the characters, but cross-platform support. Normally, we would just assume this game would have it, but Borderlands 3 didn’t launch with any cross-platform support and only got it after several updates. We traveled to Pandora and back to bring you the definitive answer on whether Borderlands 4 is cross-platform or not. Is Borderlands 4 cross-platform? One of the reasons that Bungie’s Destiny series has lasted so long as a live service game is that it was one of the first to embrace cross-platform support. The studio’s next project, Marathon, will also be a live service title, but this time it comes in the form of an extraction shooter instead of an MMO-lite looter shooter. Even after the team was acquired by PlayStation, Destiny still kept its cross-platform support, but what about this next project? Will Sony keep players relegated to their own platforms, or will you be able to team up with your friends on Tau Ceti IV regardless of where you are playing?
