Is Diablo: Immortal cross-platform?

By Jesse Lennox Published June 2, 2022

What, do you not own a phone? Jokes aside, Diablo: Immortal was thankfully spared the unfortunate fate of being a mobile exclusive game as it was originally intended to be at launch. While console players are still left out of the fun, you can at least choose to play this free title on either your smart device or PC. The PC and mobile platforms are quite different, with there being little debate over the fact that PC offers far better command over controllers, let alone touch controls.

For an action RPG, especially a free-to-play one, players will no doubt want to know if they can play with their friends regardless of what platform they choose to play it on. Beyond that, many will also want to know if Diablo: Immortal supports cross-progression as well, allowing them to bounce back and forth between the two platforms and pick up right where they left off. If you’re curious if Diablo: Immortal is cross-platform and has cross-progression, we’ve got the answers.

Yes, Diablo: Immortal offers full cross-platform play between the mobile and PC versions of the game. You are free to party up with companions with a mix of both PC and mobile players whenever you wish. Better yet, you don’t need to do anything to enable this functionality, as long as you are playing with a free battle.net account and not as a guest. The only small restriction is that you can only play with players on the same server as you.

Again, yes, Diablo: Immortal smartly lets you carry your progress from one platform to the next with no hassle. Just like with cross-platform play, all you need to do is log in to the game using the same battle.net account on your mobile and PC devices to carry all your progress over from one system to the other. You can now fight the hoards of the undead with whoever you want, wherever you want, with no fuss!

Is Split Fiction cross-platform

Zoe and Mio run through a sci-fi world in Split Fiction.

Hazelight Studios has established itself as the team specializing in the best co-op games. A Way Out and It Takes Two don't encourage playing with a friend, but requires it. The upcoming video game Split Fiction is the same story. While we loved those previous games, the one major fault was that they didn't have cross-platform support. That meant that you needed to either be playing in split-screen with your partner by your side or have the game on the same platform as your partner. Will Split Fiction also have that restriction, or will you be able to go on this adventure with a friend no matter where they are playing?
Is Split Fiction cross-platform?

Yes, Split Fiction will be the first Hazelight game that allows for crossplay between all platforms. This means players on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S will all be able to play together so long as each person has a free EA Account. If you don't already have one, you can sign up right here.
