Is Call of Duty Modern Warfare Cross Platform Compatible? Answered

After Epic Games’ initiative to bring cross play to its popular Fortnite Battle Royale game last year, the feature has fast become a staple for modern multiplayer games. Players expect it, and the pressure is on publishers to work together to make it happen.

Still, we’re not quite so far along that it’s a gaunteed feature of every multiplayer game. Particularly so, when publishers like Sony aren’t always keen to play ball.

Thankfully, Activision, Sony, and Microsoft have managed to work it all out for Call of Duty Modern Warfare — the game will feature cross play and will be cross platform compatible from launch.

The news was confirmed in a recent blog post by Activision, which stated the following:

We’ve set our sights on not only creating the best game possible this year, but also on breaking down walls and bringing the community together. Starting with Modern Warfare, we will be:

Introducing crossplay to unite the community across platforms for the first time.

– Removing Season Pass and a la carte DLC multiplayer map packs to ensure everyone can play together.

– Delivering free post-launch multiplayer maps and modes for all players.

– Releasing post-launch multiplayer maps and modes simultaneously on all platforms.

That should be everything you need to know about whether Call of Duty Modern Warfare is cross platform compatible. For more useful tips and guides on the game, be sure to search Twinfinite, or check out our guide wiki.
