25 Cross-Play Games To Unite Your Friends

Playing together shouldn’t depend on who owns which box under the TV or which launcher is on their PC. Cross-play fixes that by letting friends party up across platforms, often with cross-progression so your unlocks and saves travel with you. Below are 25 great cross-play picks spanning shooters, fighters, co-op romps, and live-service staples. Each entry notes the platforms that can connect, any major limitations to keep in mind, and the studio that made it happen so you know who’s keeping the servers humming.
