Call of Duty: Vanguard is expected to be another top-selling entry in the franchise, and we’ll answer the question of whether or not it’ll support crossplay, cross-platform play, and cross-progression.

Despite suggestions from players that the CoD franchise is waning, Black Ops Cold War has been the best-selling game in the US in 2020. Dedicated fans continue to help each title sell millions, and therefore, the question of if Call of Duty: Vanguard is cross-platform is important.

Crossplay enables players from different platforms to connect to the same multiplayer lobby and wage war. Cross-platform play is better for matchmaking and provides a greater depth of numbers and players to choose from, so let’s find out if Call of Duty: Vanguard is cross-platform.

Does Call of Duty: Vanguard have crossplay?

The short and simple answer is yes. Sledgehammer Games’ newest take on the first-person shooter genre will feature cross-platform gameplay across different consoles and formats.

This means that players on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC will automatically lock horns in the game’s online multiplayer.

As always with games that feature crossplay, if you don’t want to come up against mouse and keyboard players on powerful PCs whilst you’re on a last-gen console like the PS4 or Xbox One, then you will more than likely have the option to disable crossplay.
