Starbreeze Studios’ Payday 3 has arrived, and it brings another enjoyable and explosive installment to the heist-filled shooter franchise. These games are all about kicking back and popping a few bank vaults with your friends, but players might be worried about being limited on that. As not everyone has all their friends on the same platform, that’s where crossplay would come in. If you’re wondering if Payday 3 allows for crossplay, we have all the answers.
Crossplay refers to the ability of players on one platform (like PS5) to play with those on other platforms (like Xbox Series X|S and PC). Historically, gamers have been limited to playing with those on the same platform, but recent trends have pushed more and more studios toward incorporating crossplay.
Will Payday 3 Have Crossplay?
Yes, Payday 3 has crossplay support.
This was first confirmed by the developers at Starbreeze Studios in their pre-launch FAQs page. It reads:
PAYDAY 3 supports crossplay with all supported platforms, which means that you can play with your friends no matter where they prefer to play. You will also be able to avail of cross-progression, so you can heist from your preferred platform at any time.
Crossplay is made mostly possible through the fact that you must create a Starbreeze Nebula account, which tracks all of your progress and allows you to make a platform-agnostic friend list. This means that your lobby of friends can come from every different platform, and there won’t be any issues with invites or compatibility.
Not only does it have crossplay, but it also supports full cross-progression. That means players who play Payday 3 on different platforms can take their progress, characters, and achievements with them. They won’t have to start afresh if they flick between console and PC, for example.
It is welcome news for the player base, with crossplay more and more in demand in an era of gaming where the platform you play on really doesn’t matter. The developers also confirmed a ton of other features for Payday 3, like post-launch Season passes and the musical talents of Gustavo Coutinho.
That’s everything on Payday 3 crossplay. It’s time to get heisting with your friends regardless of platforms.
