You have a PC, a friend a PS4 and your colleague an Xbox One. Playing online together is apparently not possible, everyone stays for himself. No! Some games support crossplay or cross-platform play. The online service and the connected infrastructure of the respective game does not matter on which platform you start a game. Everyone can come together in the online lobby and play a game together.
You can find out which games support crossplay and which platforms this applies to in our lists below.
Note: We avoid double lists. If a game offers crossplay for the four platforms W, X, Y and Z, we no longer count it in the separate list for the three platforms X, Y and Z. Of course, this also applies to other constellations. For this purpose, mobile titles are ignored, as is crossplay support between different PC launchers (e.g. Steam, Microsoft Store and Epic Games) and any support for crossplay with game streaming services.
Crossplay games: PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
Games that work equally on all four current gaming platforms and can be connected to one another online are rare. In February 2019 there were three. The number of titles has increased significantly in the meantime and is now in double digits.
