Cross Platform

[2023 Truck Boat XR Edition]

Ok, simple question, can i play with someone on the x-box if i am on the pc.

[Tacet the Terror]

Nope.

XBOX1 is its own version and PS4 is its own version.

Only the PC/Mobile platform is cross platform.

Man thats a bummer, Thanks for the solid response everywhere I look everyone is off topic and can never get a solid answer.

ya its dumb in my opinion that console games and pc games cant intermingle but im guessing its mostly due to PC games living longer then console games and people dont want to update console games past the time they want to quit them. i do find it an interesting thought...how long will the xbox/ps4 versions last beyond the end of those consoles??? i know thats probably a distant thought but the pc version should run on long beyond that the way i see things.

It's due to the MIcrosoft and Sony not wanting to honor or deal with in-game purchases on other platforms, I believe.

It's due to legal issues that we can't link console and PC/Mobile. We wish we could!

Still, there’s two aspects of cross-platform play.
One is sharing the same account on all platforms and I can see the issues here because each platform has its own store (though Xbox and PC could work on the same store if the game was on Microsoft Store instead of Steam) with its own pricing and financial regulations.
Another aspect is playing with people on different platforms and this just depends on agreements between companies, as different games are now allowing cross-play (think about Rocket League on Switch, and soon Minecraft, which is already cross-play enabled on PC/mobile/Xbox)
