Is Vampire The Masquerade Bloodhunt crossplay? How to play cross-platform on PlayStation and PC
SharkmobOne of the most unique battle royales in recent years is Vampire The Masqurance Bloodhunt, an action-packed title where players take on the role of Vampires but does the game include crossplay?
The battle royale genre has exploded in popularity over the years thanks to games like Apex Legends and Fortnite becoming hugely successful, and plenty of franchise has tried their hand at the formula including the Vampire The Masquerade series which delivers its own battle royale experience in Bloodhunt.
The game officially launched out of early access for PS5 and PC in April 2022 and if you’re picking it up for the first time, you may want to know if it features crossplay. Battle royales are perfect to play with friends after all!
So, here’s everything you need to know about whether or not Vampire Masquerade Bloodhunt includes crossplay support.
SharkmobDoes Vampire The Masquerade Bloodhunt have crossplay?
The simple answer is yes, Bloodhunt does feature crossplay support, meaning that players on PlayStation 5 and PC can enter the same matches. There is, however, a pretty major caveat.
While matches can be populated by blood-suckers on both platforms, only those on the same platform can join the same squad in the lobby. The Elysium, Bloodhunt’s pre-game lobbies, are platform-specific, so you’ll have to rely on dumb luck to stumble across a friend with different hardware.
Sadly, this means groups separated by the platform can only compete against one another and cannot enter a game on the same team.

If you’re playing Bloodhunt on PC, the good news is that crossplay is automatically enabled and cannot be switched off. So every game you play will feature both PC and PS5 users.
Those on the PlayStation 5 version do have the option to disable crossplay, in an effort to remain “compliant with the technical regulations and requirements.”
If you’re looking to enable or disable crossplay in Bloodhunt, simply head into the Options Menu and adjust the setting to suit your preference.
It’s worth noting that the developers have warned players against tampering with the settings. They said on the official website: “Please keep in mind that disabling crossplay may lead to slow matchmaking times. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you play with crossplay enabled.”
