Is Disney Dreamlight Valley cross-platform?

Mixing the addictive gameplay of a life-sim like Animal Crossing with the world of Disney was guaranteed to result in a hit. Disney Dreamlight Valley had been in early access for a few years while it added in more content, characters, quests, and tons of items. Even now that it is out, Gameloft has no plans to abandon its loyal players. Even in its early access state, Disney Dreamlight Valley has always been available on all platforms, but as of December 2023, the game got a massive multiplayer update. Farming and questing with friends in the Valley is the best way to play, but how robust is its cross-platform support?

Is Disney Dreamlight Valley cross-platform?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is a little complicated. The easy part is that Disney Dreamlight Valley allows for cross-saves between all platforms, which include PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Mac, and Switch. Feel free to start on any platform and migrate to another later.

Crossplay, on the other hand, has one strange restriction. Disney Dreamlight Valley supports crossplay between all platforms except for PlayStation players. That means PlayStation players are only able to play with other people on PlayStation, while everyone else can join regardless of platform. There has been no word on whether this restriction will be removed in the future, but hopefully PlayStation players will be able to join in on the fun with everyone else soon. Thankfully, since you can move your save easily, you don’t have to start over if you began on PlayStation and want to take advantage of crossplay on other platforms.

Is Baldur’s Gate 3 cross-platform?

A Baldur's Gate 3 character lights the way.

The biggest CRPG of 2023, if not ever, promises a huge adventure that you are encouraged to play cooperatively with up to four friends. While online play is expected in the modern era, Baldur's Gate 3 surprisingly also supports split-screen co-op on every PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X as well, meaning you can run an entire campaign with a friend side-by-side. As great as all that is, the vast majority of people will likely want to play with a friend in the comfort of their own homes, which might mean a PC and console player will want to team up. Is that possible in Baldur's Gate 3? Here's a quick rundown of whether this is a cross-platform game.
Is Baldur's Gate 3 cross-platform?
In short, no, Baldur's Gate 3 will not allow for cross-platform play just like Elden Ring or Palworld. If you are playing on PC, then anyone you want to play online with will also need to be on PC, and the same is true for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. While this is true for now, it is possible that Larian Studios may add cross-platform play in a future update, but for now, it is safer to assume it won't come and make your purchasing decision accordingly.

The only small silver lining here is that Baldur's Gate 3 does have cross-platform progression. This means that if you purchase the game on one platform, you can carry your save to any other. While not ideal, it is at least an easier way to move between platforms to play with a friend if that's your only option.

Is Stardew Valley cross-platform?

Stardew Valley Multiplayer Fishing

Stardew Valley is a game made by just one person, but it has seen more success than most games made by dozens, or even hundreds, of people. It's even one of Digital Trends' top 50 video games of all time. Since its release in 2016, it's been updated regularly with new features and content to keep its avid fans coming back. As of the Stardew Valley 1.6 update additions, this includes an online multiplayer component that allows you and up to three friends to hang out on each other's farms.

Of course, many players are still wondering when Stardew Valley 1.6 is coming to consoles. And with the recent trend of games allowing players on different platforms to join together, you may wonder if Stardew Valley is a cross-platform game like Minecraft or Terraria. Here's everything we know about cross-platform support in Stardew Valley.

Is Palworld cross-platform?

Palworld, the creature-collecting survival game that fans have dubbed "Pokémon with guns," became a viral hit on launch day. With Pokémon being a Nintendo console-exclusive franchise (and one of the most successful video game franchises of all time), it's no surprise that gamers who stick to other platforms are eager for the chance to capture and battle with oddball creatures in an open-world setting.

Being a survival game with a huge emphasis on co-op, much like Ark: Survival Evolved, one would hope Palworld would be a cross-platform game.
