Is Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands cross-platform?

If you’ve gotten your hands on the latest Borderlands venture Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, you’ve probably already dived into the fantasy environment, picked the class with the most flash (they’re all flashy), and started blasting the baddies. But you may also be wondering if you can team up with your friends to lootsplore together, even if they’re playing on other devices.

The good news is that Wonderlands is built for cross-platform support. There’s even a couch co-op option! Let’s go over everything you should know.

What cross-platform play does Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands support?

If Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is on a platform, you can play with people from that platform. Cross-play is essentially universal: PC players can play with console players. Xbox can play with PlayStation. Xbox Series X and PS5 can play with Xbox One and PS4.

When can I start playing multiplayer?

Not right away. There’s a fairly lengthy prologue section to introduce you to the story and the gameplay, as Borderlands games tend to do. Once you have gotten your shield and unlocked the “War” section of the story, the prologue will be officially over and the game will open up to playing with others, including those on other platforms.

Do I have to enable crossplay?

It’s typically enabled automatically, but you should certainly check to make sure before inviting your buddies to join the mayhem. After the prologue section, head into your menu and go to the Network and Social section.

What online play modes are there?

There are two online play modes you can switch between when playing with friends, so pick the right one for how you like to loot. The first is Cooperation, which adjusts the loot for every individual character and assigns loot individually. The second is Coopetition, which sets difficulty according to the host’s character and shares loot, allowing other players to steal the best loot if they are quick on the draw.

How many people can play cross-platform at the same time?

Wonderlands supports up to four people playing the same game at once, just as the previous Borderlands games. As we mentioned there’s even couch co-op, although it’s limited to two people on Xbox One and PS4, and up to four on PC, Xbox Series X, and PS5.

Can I limit cross-platform play to just my friends?

Yes, you don’t have to matchmake randomly if you don’t want to. There is an invite-only option in the Group Privacy section so that you can create a closed game with your friends from any platform. You can also make sure that Friend Sync is enabled to make picking up friends in matchmaking easier, and choose to turn text chat on or off depending on how you want to communicate.

Can I trade with friends on other platforms?

Yes, but you need to make sure you are on the right settings. At the bottom of the Network and Social window, you’ll see an option called Trade Requests. You can set requests to All Players to make sure that trading is always an option, or limit it so you can only trade with your group. To initiate a trade, approach another player and hold down the suggested button to open a trade window with several slots. You can fill these slots with up to four items to trade with each other.

Is Overwatch 2 cross-platform?

The path Overwatch 2 has taken up to release has been rather confusing. This sequel, which is also replacing the original game, could easily be mistaken for a major update rather than a new game. It's also going down the free-to-play route, meaning that it is looking to capture as large an audience as possible. Naturally, this will be incentive enough for many gamers to at least try out this team-based hero shooter.

Overwatch 2, like the first game, has no modes where you aren't playing as a team. While the team size has been reduced from six to five players per squad, the game is still focused on filling the roles of Tanks, Support, and Damage. Teamwork and coordination are key, so playing with your friends is the best way to pull out a victory. With the game available on so many platforms, though, the question of whether or not it supports cross-platform play must be asked. We have the answer.

Is Saints Row cross-platform?

We've come to the awkward point in the gaming industry where most games of a certain size include some form of cross-play, cross-progression, or both -- but not all. High budget, multiplayer focused games, and especially free-to-play titles, are almost expected to have all these features now, but there is still some slack when it comes to indies and mid-sized titles. With a game like Saints Row, which is somewhere between a middle and high budget game that is still coming to all consoles and PC, it could easily go either way with how this game would handle its online component.

Saints Row has a campaign that is fully playable in co-op with a friend. With the entire game's thesis built around chaos and creating your own dynamic fun in the reactive open world, bringing a friend along is an obvious way to amplify that fun. That said, it's always a bummer when you stop and realize that you and your co-op partner of choice are playing on different platforms and don't even know if you'll be able to rebuild the Saints together. If you want to know if you and your friends can build your criminal empire together on different platforms, here's the answer.

Is MultiVersus cross-platform?
Shaggy, Superman, Tom & Jerry, and Wonder Woman prepare to fight in MultiVersus.

Gaming has come a long way since the days of locking multiplayer games between consoles, PC, and even mobile. It wasn't that long ago that if you wanted to play an online game with your friends, you all had to be playing on the same system. Now, however, more and more titles are embracing the cross-platform future in which it doesn't matter where you own a game. As long as you and your friends all have it, you can match up regardless of whether you're on PC or console.

MultiVersus is not only a game that heavily relies on a thriving and populated online community to function but is also free to play. Both factors mean that the developers want as many people playing as possible, with no barriers to entry. So, naturally, they would want to include cross-platform support, right? If you're unsure if you can play with others on different systems, and if so whether you can swap between platforms yourself and not lose progress, here's a full breakdown of MultiVersus' cross-platform support.
