Over the past several years, the gaming industry has evolved to meet the needs of its community better—something clearly reflected in the growing number of cross-platform titles available today. While not every industry trend has been welcomed with open arms, some have become staples that players now expect. One of the most celebrated changes has been the rise of cross-play, or cross-platform support, which allows gamers to connect and play with friends no matter what system they own.
A decade ago, this feature was rare in most games. But here in 2025, hundreds of titles now let players team up—or face off—regardless of their platform of choice. That said, cross-platform games are still a smaller slice of the overall market, which can make it tricky to figure out which ones are actually worth playing. If you've been wanting to game with friends on different systems, we've rounded up 33 of the best cross-platform games you can dive into in 2025. This list isn't ranked in any particular order. And if you're looking for more recommendations, don't forget also to check out our guides to the best PS5 games, best Switch games, best Xbox games, and best PC games.
Partial Crossplay Support
Crossplay isn't always universal. Some games only connect specific platforms—for example, PC and PlayStation players might be able to join each other's matches, while Xbox users are left out. Even so, this type of limited crossplay still helps by broadening the overall player base. At the same time, it highlights the tricky balancing act developers face when it comes to input methods, hardware performance, and platform-specific rules.
Rare’s pirate adventure has grown into a fantastic shared-world experience. Now available on PlayStation too, its full crossplay lets entire crews set sail together.
