There’s no way to definitively list every single cross-play title, especially since you could technically define a game that works on both the PS4 and the PS5 as “cross-play.” (They are, indeed, two separate consoles.) Wikipedia has a useful-but-incomplete list (opens in new tab), and even that contains almost 300 entries.Īs such, rather than just list every single cross-play game, we’ve singled out a handful that are worth trying, then included a longer selection below that. If you see one that you like, go for it:Ĭross-play games are much more common now than they were in the past. Some of these games are exclusive, but most are available on multiple platforms.
The best we can do is direct you to our “best games” lists for each platform. Since most games are cross-platform, there’s no way to narrow down which the “best” ones are without knowing each reader’s personal gaming preferences. If you’ve read the previous section, then you’ll know that “what are the best cross-platform games?” is something of an arbitrary question. Thankfully, multiplayer games from recent years tend to support cross-play as a rule, and will even let you carry over your multiplayer stats from system to system. This was a big problem in previous console generations, when friend groups would have to confer with each other beforehand to ensure they all bought PlayStations, or Xboxes, or PCs. Many multiplayer games - even cross-platform ones - restrict multiplayer modes to other players on the same console family. In other words, if you have a PS5 and your first friend has an Xbox Series X, while your second friend has a PC, a cross-play game will let you all play together. Here’s the distinction:Ī cross-play game is a title that lets people on different platforms play the multiplayer mode together. You see just how broad the definition can be.)Ĭross-play games, on the other hand, are usually what people want to learn about when they search for “cross-platform games.” All cross-play games are cross-platform games, but not all cross-platform games are cross-play games. (Although - not to make matters more confusing - Halo Infinite may technically be a cross-platform game, since it’s available on more than one system.
Compare and contrast these games to titles such as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, which is available only on PS5, or Halo Infinite, which is available only on Microsoft platforms, such as Xbox and Windows.
