What You Need

  • Fall Guys

  • Epic Games account

Even though Fall Guys is, at its core, competitive, you can still invite and play with all your friends no matter if you're on Switch and they're on PC, Xbox, or PlayStation. However, unlike inviting friends in games where you're all on the same console, inviting friends who play on different platforms can be a bit tricky. Fall Guys tries to make it easy, but it still takes a few steps. Here's a full guide on how to invite your friends on all platforms for a round of Fall Guys.

How to add cross-platform friends in Fall Guys

No matter which console you're on, there are just a few steps you need to take in order to start up a party and invite friends on different platforms.

Step 1: Either create or log in to your Epic Games account. You will be prompted to do this automatically the first time you boot up Fall Guys.

Step 2: Once in the game, hit the button to Open Party. Here's the button for each system:

  • PlayStation 4 or 5: Touchpad
  • Xbox One or Series: View button
  • Switch: Minus button
  • PC: Shift + F3

Step 3: After choosing a slot to invite someone to, this will bring up your friends list, but not your console's friends list — this is your Epic Games friends list.

Step 5: Once added, you can simply hit the Invite button beside their name to invite them to your game.

Step 6: Wait for them to join you, then get out there and win that crown!

Is Elden Ring cross-platform?
Multiple players dueling in Elden Ring.

When it launched in 2022, Elden Ring was an immediate hit. The challenging game took everything great from previous FromSoftware titles and merged it with a sweeping open world to explore -- letting players venture in any direction just a few minutes after starting the game. That also made it incredibly daunting. Not only did you have to contend with nightmarish monsters and rage-inducing combat, but you had to figure out how to best reach your next destination without stumbling upon enemies that were twice your skill level.

Thankfully, Elden Ring makes use of a (cryptic) multiplayer system, allowing you to explore the Lands Between with a buddy by your side. You can also read and leave messages for other players, giving them tips and tricks to guide their journey. But is Elden Ring a cross-platform game, or are you stuck playing with folks on the same platform as you?

Is Among Us cross-platform?
Among Us

Among Us is huge, but you need a huge group to play it. Unlike other popular multiplayer games like Apex Legends and Minecraft, there's no way to play this one solo. As a co-op experience for up to 10 players, the question is only natural: Is Among Us a cross-platform game? In this guide, we're going to cover everything you need to know about crossplay, cross-progression, and more in Among Us. 
Is Among Us cross-platform?

Yes, Among Us is cross-platform. You can team up with your friends without any additional steps across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. On PC, it doesn't matter where you got the game from. Itch.io, Epic Games Store, and Steam all sell the game, but it all works the same.

Is Ark cross-platform?
Several dinosaurs in Ark.

The best survival games come in all shapes and sizes, but not even Minecraft can claim to let you tame and ride all kinds of realistic dinosaurs. Taking place on another planet that just so happens to have very Earth-like dinosaurs, you are dropped into this dangerous world full of threats. Because Ark: Survival Evolved is a persistent online game, it will only be a matter of time before you encounter other human players. They could be your greatest ally, or destroy everything you own. Your best bet is to bring your own friends along to help you survive and work together like you would in other games like Rust. Ark is available on almost every platform, but how easy is it for you all to play together? Has Ark evolved to be a cross-platform game?
Is Ark cross-platform?
Sadly, Ark is not fully cross-platform -- the game only allows for a very specific combination of systems to play together. As of now, only Xbox and PC players are able to team up on the same servers, while mobile players on iOS and Android can link up as well. There's no crossplay available between any PlayStation platforms.

In terms of cross-progression, it is a similar story. You can transfer your progress only between Xbox and PC platforms and nothing else. If you started or want to switch to PlayStation, you'll need to begin your adventure all over again from scratch.
