XDefiant is the latest first-person shooter to hit the market, but does the game support cross-platform play for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC? Here’s everything you need to know.

Ubisoft’s most recent foray into the FPS genre is XDefiant, an action-packed shooter that debuted as the latest Call of Duty competitor. However, being a multiplayer game, does it have crossplay?

After all, playing with your friends, no matter what platform they’re using, is extremely fun. With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about XDefiant’s cross-platform play for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.

Does XDefiant support crossplay?

Yes, XDefiant has full crossplay support between PlayStation 5, Xbox Series XlS, and PC. This means you and your friends will be able to queue up together, irrespective of the platform you’re playing on.

In addition, cross-progression is available, meaning that you can easily switch between multiple platforms and keep all your account’s progress. 

By default, crossplay is automatically enabled in XDefiant. With the setting enabled, finding a lobby is much faster since you have a bigger player pool in general. However, if you’re not a fan of playing against mouse and keyboard or controller users, there’s an option to turn that off.

You can turn off crossplay in XDefiant via the in-game settings menu. Here’s a step-by-step you can follow:

  1. Launch XDefiant.
  2. Head to Settings.
  3. Select the Matchmaking & Account tab on the left.
  4. Click the Crossplay option to turn it off.

Feel free to repeat the process if you’d like to turn it back on. At the end of the day, it’s entirely up to your preference. However, one thing you’ll want to keep in mind if you decide to turn it off is that it could take slightly longer to find a match, especially outside of peak hours.

While you’re here, take a look at some of the best weapons in the game. Regardless of your platform, knowing which ones you should unlock first can help give you the upper hand.
