These are all the Nintendo Switch games with console and PC crossplay support

By and

The Nintendo Switch is still a force in the console market. With record-breaking sales at launch, a smattering of excellent exclusives, and a massive library of wonderful indies, the Switch has become quite the juggernaut. Online multiplayer hasn’t quite gotten on the same level as PlayStation and Xbox, though. Even with its dedicated Nintendo Switch Online subscription program, the Switch still lags behind the competition. The install base, however, is huge, making it a great place to play online games, even if the infrastructure isn’t as feature rich. Additionally, a growing number of games feature crossplay support with Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and sometimes even mobile.

Here are all the Switch games with cross-platform multiplayer support.

Nintendo Switch games that support cross-save with PC

Even though games that are accessible on all platforms are, obviously, superior, there are a few contenders that only use crossplay with PC or that use crossplay and cross-progression just with PC. 

Normally, cross-saving games don’t have a decent online mode that would encourage crossplay. But the ability to load your save states onto a PC edition of a Switch game is surprisingly useful. Here are some titles that support save file transfers across your Nintendo Switch and PC. 

  • Civilization VI
  • DAEMON X MACHINA
  • Divinity: Original Sin 2 – Definitive Edition
  • Game Dev Tycoon
  • Hades
  • Immortals Fenyx Rising
  • Kingdom: Two Crowns
  • Minecraft
  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

Nintendo Switch games that support cross-progression

Aside from playing online with users on different platforms, a handful of Nintendo Switch games offer cross-progression support. This means you can make progress on other platforms, then sign into the Nintendo Switch version to pick up right where you left off, with all of your saved data carrying over. That way, you can easily move from platform to platform without losing your progress.

These are the Nintendo Switch titles that support cross-progression with other platforms:

  • Dauntless
  • Fortnite
  • Paladins
  • Realm Royale
  • Rocket League
  • Rogue Company
  • SMITE
  • Spellbreak

When is Stardew Valley 1.6 coming to consoles? Switch, PS5, Xbox, more
A player fishes in their local pond.

There are few cozy games as successful and beloved as Stardew Valley, so it's no wonder it has received regular updates since its 2016 release. If you're a fan of the game, you've no doubt been looking forward to its new 1.6 update, which brings some pretty substantial changes and bug fixes to improve the gameplay experience. Unfortunately for some players, the update has only released on PC so far, meaning console players have been left wondering when they'll get an opportunity to see all of the fresh changes in the game. Here's what we know so far about when the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is coming to consoles.
When is Stardew Valley update 1.6 coming to consoles?
Unfortunately, we don't have an immediate answer regarding when Stardew Valley update 1.6 will land on consoles, though we do know it's on the way in the near future.

Developer Eric Barone, known as ConcernedApe, has kept the community updated on porting the game to consoles throughout 2024, but there hasn't been a lot of good news for fans. The most recent post on August 28 publically acknowledges that the ports are taking a long time and that he knows console players are upset.

All Zelda games in order, by release date and chronologically
Zelda with the Master Sword in Tears of the Kingdom.

From its humble beginnings on the NES to the latest 3D adventure, The Legend of Zelda games are undeniably some of the best games of all time. What began as a little adventure game about a boy in a green tunic rescuing a princess has turned into a multigenerational series with tons of games across all of Nintendo's hardware. Whether you love the 2D games or massive 3D adventures, it is a tough task to pick the best Zelda game.

What's even harder is understanding the Zelda timeline. After the first two games, it wasn't clear if the subsequent games were connected at all. Each game has a different incarnation of Link, and usually Zelda and Ganon as well, but everything else appeared to only have loose ties, if any. For years, fans worked to try and make sense of the timeline as games came out, but eventually, Nintendo set the record straight with the official timeline in the The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia book (which has been converted into a handy wiki). However, since that book's publication, we've had a few new games come out that we need to find a way to place in the existing timeline ... or should we say timelines.
