Is Elden Ring Cross Platform & Crossplay (2023)?

Check out our guide to find out if Elden Ring supports cross-platform and crossplay.


Want to know if there is Elden Ring cross platform and crossplay support? Don't worry because you are not alone. Since its inception, Elden Ring has caused many players to quit and retire from the game. Since this is a Souls game and sometimes using Summons isn't enough, you may need some extra help from your more experienced friends. Although there is a multiplayer mode in the game, several players are wondering if it supports crossplay. So check out our guide to learn all about it.

Elden Ring Cross Platform and Crossplay - Is there any support?

Unfortunately, there is currently no cross-platform support in Elden Ring. We'll have to wait for Hidenta Miyazaki or the developers at FromSoftware to announce the availability of crossplay. However, since the developers haven't hinted or revealed any information about cross-platform support, it's unlikely that we'll be able to play cross-platform anytime soon.


If we follow the previous Souls titles, there was no crossplay support for any of the Dark Souls entries and Bloodborne. So, in my opinion, cross-platform support seems a long way off. It is more disappointing for the players who prefer duels, invasions and PvE battles in multiplayer instead of campaign mode. From recent news, players have died more than nine billion times while defeating tough bosses in Elden Ring. But with a little help from your friends, crossplay could have worked wonders in intense boss battles against Malenia, Maliketh, or whatever.


However, given the recent surprise about the upcoming Shadow of the Erdtree story DLC, there's no complaints if FromSoftware decides to surprise us with a crossplay patch. Considering the success of Elden Ring, the developers might decide to release a cross-platform support patch in the future.


If so, we'll update this article as more information becomes available. Until then, you can play cross-gen with your friends from other generations. But what is it and how does it work? Scroll to the end to find out.

What is Cross Gen Play

Cross-gen play allows players to connect with the players of the same series, whose generations may vary. For example, if you're playing on Xbox Series X, you can invite and connect with your friend who's playing on Xbox One. In the same way, PS4 players can play with PS5 players. However, since there is no cross-platform support, Xbox and PS5 players cannot play together.


While cross-gen play features are somewhat limited, we at least have some wiggle room for crossplay. Unlike console gamers, PC gamers can find more players using cross-gen play due to peak sales. If you're confused or new to co-op, check out our guide that explains multiplayer in Elden Ring.
