These are all the Nintendo Switch games with console and PC crossplay support

By and

The Nintendo Switch is still a force in the console market. With record-breaking sales at launch, a smattering of excellent exclusives, and a massive library of wonderful indies, the Switch has become quite the juggernaut. Online multiplayer hasn’t quite gotten on the same level as PlayStation and Xbox, though. Even with its dedicated Nintendo Switch Online subscription program, the Switch still lags behind the competition. The install base, however, is huge, making it a great place to play online games, even if the infrastructure isn’t as feature rich. Additionally, a growing number of games feature crossplay support with Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and sometimes even mobile.

Here are all the Switch games with cross-platform multiplayer support.

Nintendo Switch games that support cross-save with PC

Even though games that are accessible on all platforms are, obviously, superior, there are a few contenders that only use crossplay with PC or that use crossplay and cross-progression just with PC.

Normally, cross-saving games don’t have a decent online mode that would encourage crossplay. But the ability to load your save states onto a PC edition of a Switch game is surprisingly useful. Here are some titles that support save file transfers across your Nintendo Switch and PC. 

  • Civilization VI
  • DAEMON X MACHINA
  • Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition
  • Game Dev Tycoon
  • Hades
  • Immortals Fenyx Rising
  • Kingdom: Two Crowns
  • Minecraft
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Nintendo Switch games that support cross-progression

Aside from playing online with users on different platforms, a handful of Nintendo Switch games offer cross-progression support. This means you can make progress on other platforms, then sign into the Nintendo Switch version to pick up right where you left off, with all of your saved data carrying over. That way, you can easily move from platform to platform without losing your progress.

These are the Nintendo Switch titles that support cross-progression with other platforms:

  • Dauntless
  • Fortnite
  • Paladins
  • Realm Royale
  • Rocket League
  • Rogue Company
  • SMITE
  • Spellbreak

Stardew Valley 1.6 has finally arrived on consoles and mobile
Special Orders board in Stardew Valley.

Stardew Valley console and mobile players will want to start a new farm soon. The long-awaited 1.6 update is finally available for all platforms on Monday, bringing with it a new farm type, more dialogue with NPCs, new events, and too many other things to count.

The 1.6 update launched for PC players on March 19, so console and mobile players have been waiting almost eight months for the release. In July, developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone said in a post on X (formerly Twitter) that it was taking longer than expected. The following month, he wrote in another post that the ports have been the "primary focus" for the team. He had even stopped working on the Stardew follow-up Haunted Chocolatier to get the console and mobile updates finished.

Original Switch next to Switch OLED.

Even though the Nintendo Switch first came out in a period when there was really no other handheld competition, nowadays, there are nearly half a dozen other options, and yet, Nintendo still maintains its dominance in the market. A lot of that is not necessarily due to the hardware itself, even though the console is certainly a thin and light, but also because of a great selection of first-party games that almost everybody will find enjoyable. On top of that, you get to choose between three different versions, the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite, or Nintendo Switch OLED, so you can pick the one that fits your budget the most.

To that end, we've collected some great Nintendo Switch video game deals and accessories deals, so be sure to check those out. Or, if you'd rather have one of the more traditional consoles, check out these game console deals instead.
