Does Marvel Rivals have crossplay?

In short, Marvel Rivals has crossplay between PC and consoles. It should be on by default when you💯 fi🌞rst boot up the game. 

To ensure that cr𝓡oss🤪play is on, follow these steps:

  • Click settings (the gear wheel on the top right of the screen).
  • Select “Settings”
  • Find the Social tab.
  • Look for the “Social” section and check “CROSS-PLATFORM”.
  • Make sure the check mark is on.

Once that’s set, you can now toggle this feature on and off on the Play🔥 page in th💖e main menu.

Does Marvel Rivals have crossplay between Xbox and PS5?

Marvel Rivals does have crossplay between just the consoles. In a similar fashion to Overwatch 2, this game h🔯as console-only matchmaking and full ༒crossplay.

This is a toggleable featꦐure before you 🍬start a match once you have the crossplay stuff enabled in your settings.

Before you start a game, you can choose to be console only or not. If you choose for consoles only, then you 🔜will only be placed with people on 👍Xbox or PS5. Unless you have crossplay off entirely, you’ll only be matched with those on your same exact platform. 

For matchmaking times, it’s best to expand to everything. In the grand scheme of things, you can still get challenges done, have faster m♊atch times, and have no limitations to heroes.

Does Marvel Rivals have crossplay ranked?

When it comes to Ranked matchmaking, Marvel Rivals takes an approach like Overwatch 2. You can only play this mode with people on the same platform pool as you.

This means that if you have friends 💫on PC as a console player or vice-versa, you can only stick to Quick Match, Conquest, Custom games, and Practice vs. AI modes. 

The matchmaking pools will be a bit limited due to the balance of the game. Since the time to kill (TTK) is a bit high and would favor players on PC, there’d be an unfair advantage when it comes to modes that would take skill into consideration.

A Gold-ranked lobby on PC will play vastly different than one on consoles. Controller�� stick limitations compared to how fast players on PC can look around wil𝔉l make character balance difficult too.
