But there is a catch to the crossplay Marvel Rivals offers. To explain, Players from all platforms can engage in cross-platform matchmaking, but crossplay between console and PC is not allowed. This means while a player on PC can be matched against those on Xbox and PlayStation in an online multiplayer game, they cannot party up to play together as a team in the competitive playlist.

However, PC and console players can play non-ranked modes together. But in the competitive playlist, only Xbox and PlayStation players will be able to play together.
