What good is an old-school, arcade brawler without friends to play it with? Marvel Cosmic Invasion looks like a classic ‘Quarter Muncher’, but it’s playable from the comfort of your own home on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC, complete with local co-op for up to four players (if you have the controllers for it).

Still, a bit like combining Guardians of the Galaxy, the X-Men, and Avengers, can you could on cross-platform support? Online co-op is included as you punch, kick, and throw your way through the campaign, but can you team up with other mighty heroes on other platforms? We’ve got the full information on crossplay and cross-progression below.

Does Marvel Cosmic Invasion have cross-platform support?

Yes, Marvel Cosmic Invasion does indeed have cross-platform support. Featuring a roster of 15 heroes from across the Marvel universe, players on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, Switch 2, and PC can enjoy drop-in, drop-out co-op regardless of platform. Even though Marvel Cosmic Invasion does feature a unique tag system where each player can swap between two heroes, this is a game that is best enjoyed with friends working together and pulling off heroic combos on the enemies. You can still enjoy the game alone, but you shouldn’t have to thanks to it being available on both current and last-gen consoles.

There has been no official word on whether Marvel Cosmic Invasion has any form of cross-progression, but given it launches in just a few short weeks at the time of writing on December 1, we don’t have long to find out. Still, I’d be very surprised if it was since we’ve known for a while about cross-play, but the studio has remained tight-lipped on cross-save.

Of course, we’ll hope to be surprised, and as soon as we hear either way (or get our costumed mitts on the game), we’ll be sure to update this page.

Sony is helping bury physical games, and preservation is being left to clean up the mess
A reported 2028 cutoff for PS5 discs gives the industry a deadline it still doesn’t seem ready to handle.

Sony’s reported plan to stop producing PS5 discs in 2028 would push PlayStation deeper into a digital-first future, where access depends on licenses, storefront policy, and platform support lasting longer than companies usually promise.

That’s tidy for Sony and ugly for game preservation. Physical media was never a perfect archive, but removing it before a serious replacement exists turns the survival of old games into someone else’s emergency. It also raises questions about long-term ownership, resale rights, and whether players can truly rely on purchases to remain accessible decades later.

In this economy, Cinder City is asking for 64GB RAM. The rest of its PC specs are even weirder. [Update]
Remember when 16GB RAM was enough?

Update: After our story went live, the team behind Cinder City reached out to clarify that the 64GB RAM recommendation was simply a mistake. The Steam page has since been updated to recommend 32GB of RAM instead. As also shared on Steam, the team noted that the current specs are based on an in-development build, and the final system requirements at launch could end up being lower than what's currently listed. So, no, you probably don't need to start shopping for another 32GB RAM kit just yet. The original story is as follows.

For years, PC gamers have joked that game developers treat hardware requirements like a shopping list. Cinder City might have just taken that joke a little too seriously. The game's newly listed recommended PC specs ask for a whopping 64GB of RAM. That's a figure that's raising eyebrows because almost everything else on the list looks surprisingly… normal.
