With the immense popularity of Fallout 76 following the live-action television series, more players than ever are flocking to post-apocalyptic Appalachia. But they’re spread far and wide across multiple systems. With that in mind, is Fallout 76 crossplay?
Unfortunately, Fallout 76 does not support crossplay completely. There’s a caveat, of course, because it shouldn’t be too simple to play with your friends cross-platform, right?
You can play Fallout 76 crossplay between PC and Xbox Series X|S, but only when playing on the Game Pass version of the multiplayer wasteland adventure.
If you purchased a digital copy from the Xbox Store and your pal purchased a copy through Steam, you cannot play together.
Will the game ever receive crossplay support? There’s no telling. Microsoft is making a huge push to put its games on every platform imaginable, and that often means cross-platform support to some extent. However, the most significant blockage preventing crossplay from moving forward successfully is usually Sony.
I hope you’re ready for a little more disappointment, sadly. You cannot transfer save files between systems in Fallout 76. If you previously created a character on the PC version but went out and bought an Xbox Series S on sale, you must start an entirely new save file on the console.
At the very least, it’s an opportunity to test out a new build!
Whether you jump in-game with a friend or not, you’ll likely want to start accumulating resources for crafting and construction. Here is how to get Gold Scrap in Fallout 76! Before you boot up the game, however, why not sign up for the Insider Gaming Newsletter?
