Yes, Fall Guys now has full cross-platform support for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC via the Epic Games store. Being free to play, as long as you link up your Epic Games account, you can play with friends no matter what system they’re on.

Cross-save and cross-progression

Cross-progression was in the works for a long time but has finally arrived. Now that Fall Guys uses a singular Epic Games account, so long as that account is linked on the platform you’re using, all your progress, cosmetics, level, and everything else will seamlessly follow you from one system to the next. You won’t have to worry about not having your favorite look available, no matter what platform you’re playing on.

What about split-screen?

While Fall Guys would be one of the best in-person party games around, it doesn’t support split-screen multiplayer as of right now. If split-screen does become available down the road, Fall Guys could become an all-time great party games, akin to the Mario Party or Jackbox Games series’.

However, thanks to the game being free and on every console out there with full cross-play support, it isn’t as much of a bummer considering how accessible the game is. Even if you can’t play at the same time, Fall Guys is great to play with friends because everyone needs a cheerleader!

Is Valorant cross-platform?

Characters in Valorant.

For years, Valorant was one of the best PC games and an exclusive to that platform. Due to the game requiring twitch reflexes and pinpoint aiming to land those critical headshots similar to Warzone or Apex Legends, many assumed it would never come to consoles. It may have taken a while, but Valorant is now playable on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Given that players on those systems will be using controllers instead of keyboard and mouse, PC players might be wondering if they will have a host of easy targets coming into the game. That would only be true if Valorant makes it onto our list of all cross-platform games, though. Pick your agents and buy your guns and armor before we rush the site and see if Valorant has cross-platform support.
Is Valorant cross-platform?

Valorant has partial cross-platform support similar to Fallout 76. Console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S can freely play with and against one another, but PC players will remain locked on their own ecosystem. This makes sense since the PC crowd would have a massive advantage playing on keyboard and mouse rather than with controllers, even with a heavy helping of aim assist.

All the best multiplayer games in the modern age, from survival games like Ark: Survival Evolved to RPGs like Genshin Impact, live and die based on their player count.

Those who played early on may know that this wasn't true, but what about now? There have been years of updates, but was cross-platform support ever introduced?

Ever since we set foot in the world of Teyvat, Genshin Impact has become one of the best free-to-play games we've ever experienced. Mixing an anime-inspired art style with the exploration of Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, plus a huge roster of appealing characters, this massive game's popularity hasn't died down since its release. Even after Zenless Zone Zero came out, we're still hooked on Genshin.

While it isn't a multiplayer game in the traditional sense like Fallout 76 is, there are ways to connect with others. Plus, being on mobile, PC, and PlayStation (with Xbox soon to come), it would be the perfect choice for a cross-platform game. With mobile games like this, you never know if you're locked down on whatever platform you started on. Here's all the cross-platform information for Genshin Impact.
