With the abundance of gaming platforms at our disposal in this day and age, it is imperative for game developers to prioritize crossplay when creating co-op games. On that note, the burning question on everyone’s mind is whether Payday 3 will support crossplay.
Thankfully, Overkill Software is bringing crossplay support to Payday 3, allowing players to team up with their friends regardless of the platform they’re on. But that’s not all; the game will also feature cross-progression, ensuring that you can switch platforms without losing your hard-earned progress.
With a single game account, you’ll be able to level up and keep your stats, skills, gear, and other in-game items across multiple platforms. In the not-too-distant past, console manufacturers were reluctant to embrace crossplay as they were more focused on their own interests and concerned about peer-to-peer security risks.
Although there are still a few wrinkles to iron out when it comes to cross-support features in games, the gaming industry has come a long way. Gone are the days when players had to make platform choices based on the games they wanted to play.
Crossplay continues to expand its reach as Payday 3 joins the growing list of franchises embracing this feature. Bandai Namco is also jumping on the bandwagon, revealing that Tekken 8 will introduce crossplay for the first time in the franchise’s history.
