What are some cross play games

In the not so distant past, players who wanted to get together with their friends online for a session in their favorite multiplayer title had to first make sure those friends were all on the same platform. However, in 2018, the idea of cross-platform play had finally taken hold, and the ability to play with your friends regardless of which ecosystem they favor became the norm. While support for crossplay has been widely adopted since its initial announcement for Xbox One, not all games have jumped on the wagon. We've put together this handy list so that you can check if a title supports cross platform play before you pencil in that gaming session.

Software limitations used to mean that if you were in the Xbox ecosystem, playing a game with someone who preferred Playstation or Nintendo was simply not possible. Not only has cross-platform made it possible for customers of competing consoles to play together, but mobile players on iOS and Android can even jump into the party (depending on the game, of course). If you're looking for cross-play action today, look no further.

Full list of Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One cross-play games

While crossplay initially took hold during the Xbox One era, it has continued to grow following the launch of the Xbox Series X|S, and has even expanded to support cross-generation play. Each game and development studio continues to have its own idea on how to implement crossplay infrastructure, so in some instances you may need to create an account on a third party developer's website. To keep things neat and tidy we've put together a list that consists of crossplay supporting game titles, supported platforms, and whether the game is available via Game Pass.

Cross platform play not only gives players the option to choose where they want to play, but also how they want to play. As developers embrace cross platform play, they often take the opportunity to further bring keyboard and mouse support to Xbox consoles so that console players can be on even footing. Cross platform play can be enabled or disabled across the Xbox system, and even controlled via Xbox Family Settings for child accounts.
