Friday the 13th lets you play as the villain or the victim and is inspired by the classic slasher of the same name. But can you play it with your friends on different platforms like PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch? Here’s everything on crossplay and cross-progression support on Friday the 13th.

Friday the 13th is a game that belongs to the multiplayer survival horror genre, along with other games such as Hunt: Showdown, Dead by Daylight, and Resident Evil. It takes inspiration from the famous slasher film series of the same name. The developers launched it in 2017 for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and added Nintendo Switch support in 2019.

Friday the 13th has attracted over 20 million registered users, who love the thrill of playing as or against one of the most iconic horror villains ever. However, many players want to know if they can play with their friends who use different platforms, or if they can switch platforms without losing their progress. Here’s what you need to know about crossplay and cross-progression support on Friday the 13th.

Does Friday the 13th support crossplay?

Unfortunately, Friday the 13th does not support crossplay. You can only play with other players who are using the same platform as you. This means that if you are playing on a PC, you can only play with other PC players. Similarly, if you are playing on a PlayStation, you can only play with other PlayStation players, and so on.

Crossplay is the ability for players on different platforms to play together in the same game session. For example, if you are playing on a PC, you can join a game with your friends who are playing on a PlayStation or an Xbox. Crossplay is a popular feature that many games such as No Man’s Sky and Valheim offer nowadays, as it allows players to enjoy their favorite games with more people and without any platform restrictions.

Does Friday the 13th support cross-progression?

Friday the 13th also lacks cross-progression support. You can’t move your data or progress from one platform to another. This means that you have to begin from zero and level up again if you switch platforms.

Cross-progression lets players keep their data and progress when they change platforms. For instance, if you play on a PC and then switch to a PlayStation, you can resume playing from where you left off without losing any of your unlocks, rewards, or game progression.

Since Friday the 13th will stop selling next year because of licensing issues, players have lost hope about crossplay and cross-progression being added in the future.
