Ever since we set foot in the world of Teyvat, Genshin Impact has become one of the best free-to-play games we’ve ever experienced. Mixing an anime-inspired art style with the exploration of Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, plus a huge roster of appealing characters, this massive game’s popularity hasn’t died down since its release. Even after Zenless Zone Zero came out, we’re still hooked on Genshin.

While it isn’t a multiplayer game in the traditional sense like Fallout 76 is, there are ways to connect with others. Plus, being on mobile, PC, and PlayStation (with Xbox soon to come), it would be the perfect choice for a cross-platform game. With mobile games like this, you never know if you’re locked down on whatever platform you started on. Here’s all the cross-platform information for Genshin Impact.

Yes, Genshin Impact has full cross-platform support for PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile similar to Minecraft. With your handy HoYoverse account, you can log in to your existing account on any platform and continue your adventure right where you left off. All your unlocked characters, currencies, and progress will be preserved.

In terms of multiplayer, Genshin Impact is also fully crossplay enabled. Once you’ve unlocked the ability to play with others, you can do so regardless of where they are playing. Crossplay is on by default, so there’s no need to dig through any menus to get it working.

Is Marvel Rivals cross-platform?

A team of heroes in Marvel Rivals.

The heroes and villains of Marvel are colliding in Marvel Rivals, but will you be able to clash with friends on other platforms? Being a cross-platform game is essential for a hero shooter looking to take the crown from games like Overwatch 2 or Apex Legends, but Marvel games have typically been exclusives in the past. This is a different case, though, since Marvel Rivals is shaping up to be one of the best shooters on PC and consoles. Let's use our team-up abilities to see if this free-to-play hero shooter has cross-platform support.
Is Marvel Rivals cross-platform?

Much like the Hulk, Marvel Rivals has a bit of a split personality when it comes to cross-platform support. On one hand, the game has full crossplay support. Anyone on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X/S can match up as a team or rivals in almost every game mode. By almost we mean that every group is pooled together for Quick Match, Conquest, Custom Games, and Practice, but not Competitive Mode. In this mode only, PC players are relegated to their own matchmaking pool to avoid any competitive advantages over console players using controllers.

Is Temtem cross-platform?

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of Pokémon clones out there, but none of them quite captured the same magic as the original. Temtem comes as close as we've seen, with a fantastic roster of creatures to capture, battle, and evolve. While the core concept shares a lot with its inspiration, it does break the mold in a few ways, such as having all battles be 2v2, the inclusion of house options, and a focus on online play. While not quite an MMO like Final Fantasy 14, playing with others is a core component of Temtem in the same way it is for Genshin Impact, which means it would benefit everyone if it was a cross-platform game. Pokémon is one of the best Switch games, but because it is exclusive to that console, you never have the option to battle trainers on other platforms. Does Temtem let you battle it out with trainers no matter where they are? Let's find out.
