Crossplay is a basic feature in most modern-day multiplayer titles. It allows you to team up with friends who are playing on different platforms, but you’ll want some great games to enjoy first.

Here are 10 of the best games with crossplay in 2024.

The 10 best crossplay games

Call of Duty

Call of Duty is one of the most popular franchises in the gaming industry.
  • Platforms: PC, Xbox, and PlayStation

Most Call of Duty games have a vast multiplayer network, and Black Ops 6 will be no different. Whether it’s the yearly releases or the free-to-play Battle Royale, Call of Duty supports crossplay across all platforms. The game is available on Game Pass for free, allowing subscribers on PC and Xbox to enjoy it with their friends.

While Black Ops 6 is set to release later this year, Modern Warfare 3 and the free-to-play Warzone are two excellent crossplay titles to enjoy with your friends right now, especially if you’re into FPS titles. From how the weapons feel to how intense the matches get, the experience is realistic.

Overwatch 2

  • Platforms: Xbox, PC, Switch, and PlayStation

Overwatch 2 is one of the most popular Hero-based PvP shooters on the market today. Each Hero on the roster has a role assigned, and your team should be balanced to win matches.

The game greatly benefits from crossplay, as teamwork is essential to coordinating the diverse roles of support, tank, and damage dealers. The ability to team up with friends across different platforms to tackle various game modes, from competitive matches to seasonal events, enhances the overall gameplay experience.

The Finals

  • Platforms: Xbox, PC, and PlayStation

The Finals is an FPS title that has unique world destruction mechanics. The game is very aggressive and rewards if you get creative when destroying buildings and walls. Its fast-paced gameplay makes it perfect to try out with your friends.

Although it’s an arcade shooter, the main goal is to work as a team and secure the Cashout, which takes coordination and skill.

Destiny 2

Destiny 2 was originally announced for release on Friday, September 8, 2017.
  • Platforms: PC, Stadia, PlayStation, and Xbox

Even though Bungie has handed over the Halo series to 343 Industries, Destiny 2 is still its project. Despite having a dedicated PvP mode, Bungie has focused majorly on their co-op PvE campaigns to push the storyline. 

The Light vs. Darkness sage concluded recently in The Final Shape expansion, which saw the arrival of a 12-person activity for the first time. In this game, you can have fun exploring stunning alien landscapes with your friends while shooting down big bosses with some of the best weapons

Rocket League

  • Platforms: Xbox, Switch, PC, and PlayStation

Rocket League supports crossplay across all available platforms, which gives it a huge player pool and makes the game more fun. The concept of this game is simple: think of soccer but with rocket-powered cars instead of players.

Rocket League knows how to spice up soccer and give car games a new twist. You can form a team with your friends and play against strangers online, or you can play by yourself if you want a quick party game.

Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact has become one of the most popular fantasy RPGs.
  • Platforms: PC, Android, iOS, and PlayStation.

Some say Genshin Impact looks like it borrows many ideas from The Legend of Zelda. However, this narrative has changed as HoYoverse has built a massive open world with distinct regions, over 75 playable characters, six elements that impact combat, a deep storyline that is yet to end, and a lot more through updates.

Although the game has yet to arrive on Switch, once it does, you’ll be able to enjoy crossplay with all the other platforms. New content is constantly added to the game, so it could be your new favorite time sink.

Minecraft

  • Platforms: PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Switch, Android, and iOS

This list would be incomplete without having Minecraft as an entry. Released back in 2011, not only is it the most popular survival sandbox game of all time, but it’s also one of the best video games released so far.

Whether you’re crafting, surviving, or exploring, you can team up with friends, provided they have the same Minecraft edition. The game also has some great mod packs that you can use to play with your friends.

Apex Legends

  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox

Respawn’s battle royale shook the overcrowded sub-genre in 2019, offering a polished experience that also added an element of strategy through its team-based gameplay. Apex Legends offered crossplay at launch, unlike some other live service titles of that time.

In the game, you will encounter different Legends or heroes, and just like Overwatch 2, they have unique abilities. Whenever you’re heading into a match, it’s important to ensure that your characters synergize with each other, which is why it’s best enjoyed with your friends.

From intense ranked matches to casual battle royale modes and innovative new game types, Apex Legends delivers non-stop excitement.

Fortnite

One of the most-played games of 2024 is Fortnite.
  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox

Fortnite is an extremely popular Battle Royale where you can play as your favorite superheroes and pop culture icons. Released back in 2017, this was one of the first titles to come with crossplay when publishers and platforms weren’t open to the idea.

Through collaborations with celebrities and pop culture icons, Fortnite has created a metaverse where characters from different areas are under a single umbrella.

Diablo 4

Diablo IV is the fourth main installment in the Diablo series.

Platforms: PC, PlayStation, and Xbox

The Diablo franchise was crucial in making the dungeon-crawler genre popular and continues to innovate to this day.

Diablo 4 is another huge step forward for both the series and the genre itself. It offers an excellent variety of well-balanced classes and a gameplay loop that stays exciting despite the heavy focus on grinding.

Being an online-only title, it’s not surprising that it offers full crossplay support across all platforms. However, the implementation is solid and deserves praise, with players able to team up with other players with minimal hassle.

Other than the ones on this list, Elden Ring offers a vast world and powerful enemies that are best tackled with allies, while F1 24 provides the thrill of racing against your mates.
