The crossplay nuances
- Input-based matchmaking: most
games split PC and console into separate matchmaking pools, even though you can party across platforms
- Cross-progression: most games
transfer progress between platforms, but some don't (check before you grind)
- Cross-generation: PS5 + PS4,
Xbox Series + Xbox One are usually separate matchmaking pools
