The seventh entry in the Civilization franchise supports crossplay. However, it functions differently depending on the system you own. To take advantage of this feature, you must first create a 2K account and link it to the game. This will enable you to play the title with other players, regardless of their platform.

Here are the players allowed for each game mode on different systems:

1) PlayStation, PC, and Xbox

• Modern Age: 8 players
• Antiquity & Exploration Ages: 5 players

2) Nintendo Switch

• Modern Age: 6 players
• Antiquity & Exploration Ages: 4 players

You should note that since Nintendo's console is underpowered, it has various map size and player restrictions. These limitations are also applied to gamers on other platforms who are playing with Switch owners.

Cross-progression is also available in Civilization 7 across all platforms. Here are the steps to carry over your progress to another system:

1. Ensure your 2K account is linked to your primary system on which you play the game.
2. Move over to another platform and open the executable for the title.
3. Log in to your 2K account here, and you can continue your gameplay from where you left off on the previous system.

Keep in mind that your saved data is tied to your 2K account, and cross-progression is only possible if you link it with the platform you are using to play the game.
