There’s no denying that Fortnite has earned its spot among the best games of all time. Whether you like the battle royale or not, or maybe prefer something like Apex Legends, the staying power this game has is incredible. The only other game that can be compared to it is Minecraft. Part of its success is the fact that Fortnite is available on just about anything with a screen. That should make it easy to play with anyone you want, but only if it is a cross-platform game. Let’s jump out of the battle bus and see what answers we can find regarding whether Fortnite is cross-platform.

Is XDefiant cross-platform?

XDefiant

Ubisoft is looking for another way to break into the very competitive market of the best free PC games with XDefiant. This is a third-party studio that very rarely releases any of its games on a single platform, and a multiplayer shooter like Destiny 2 needs to be available in as many places as possible to succeed. However, if it isn't on our list of all cross-platform games then it might as well be exclusive since the player base will be split regardless.

Has XDefiant made the critical error of not having any cross-platform support like Elden Ring and Palworld have, or can you pick up this game knowing you will be able to find a match easily? Let's find out.

Is Genshin Impact cross-platform?

Ever since we set foot in the world of Teyvat, Genshin Impact has become one of the best free-to-play games we've ever experienced. Mixing an anime-inspired art style with the exploration of Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, plus a huge roster of appealing characters, this massive game's popularity hasn't died down since its release. Even after Zenless Zone Zero came out, we're still hooked on Genshin.

While it isn't a multiplayer game in the traditional sense like Fallout 76 is, there are ways to connect with others. Plus, being on mobile, PC, and PlayStation (with Xbox soon to come), it would be the perfect choice for a cross-platform game. With mobile games like this, you never know if you're locked down on whatever platform you started on. Here's all the cross-platform information for Genshin Impact.

Dauntless was built from the ground up to challenge the Monster Hunter franchise, and it succeeded in doing so. If features massive weapons, even bigger bosses, and the addictive loop of preparing for a long hunt and engaging in a tough, drawn-out fight with an intimidating monster. One of the big draws was that it is completely free, like Rocket League and Genshin Impact, but those are also so popular because they're cross-platform games. There's nothing quite as thrilling as gathering up a group of hunters to take down a giant beast, but if you can't due to playing on different platforms, it will quickly take the wind out of your sails. Here is everything you need to know about whether Dauntless is cross-platform.
Is Dauntless cross-platform?
Yes, Dauntless supports cross-platform play across PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch. Crossplay is automatically set as on by default on each platform so you shouldn't need to make any changes to start playing with friends on other systems.

Dauntless also includes cross-progression using the in-game account to transfer your progress to any platform. If you ever feel like picking the game up on another console or PC, there's nothing stopping you from continuing the hunt right where you left off.
