Marvel Rivals has surprised the fans, putting a gamer in the shoes of popular Marvel heroes in heart-stopping battles. With its fast-paced play action that follows in Overwatch fashion, the game has swept away across the platform of all consoles within a short period of its release.
But can the game allow cross-platform play between its players? Can people from different systems team up and compete with friends while on other systems? Let’s find out.
Does Marvel Rivals Support Crossplay?
Cross-platform play between PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC is supported in Marvel Rivals. However, there’s a slight catch here: the feature is available only for casual play. This way, you can team up with your friends no matter what their chosen platform is. Simply add their in-game nickname to your friend list, and then you can join the action together.
But things change once the competitive level is applied. Ranked matches are then only platform-specific. It means that players of PlayStation and Xbox will play each other while those using the PC will only play others on the same machine.
Unfortunately, cross-progression is not available for Marvel Rivals at this time. This means you’ll be tied to the specific platform you’re playing on, and your progress, including in-game items and character unlocks, will be lost if you switch between platforms.
