No, Starfield won’t be featuring cross-platform gameplay.
Players on Xbox and PC are already adding Bethesda's Starfield to their wishlists, hinting that it will be one of the most anticipated titles in 2023. However, whether or not it will facilitate cross-platform play and progression is still being debated in the community.
What is Starfield?
Starfield, the next game from Bethesda Game Studios, is sparking excitement worldwide. Starfield, a science fiction game set in a large and attractive setting, offers an exciting journey across the cosmos. Bethesda has a track record of creating intriguing open-world games, and fans are looking forward to the developer's entrance into space travel. The game is expected to produce an aesthetically fascinating universe allowing players to explore and discover new things.
Bethesda revealed Starfield's gameplay and what gamers can expect from the AAA title in June 2023. Users are asking whether the game will offer cross-platform play and advancement. Here's what we know about those two components of the game.
Is Starfield cross-platform?
Starfield will not feature crossplay. While playable on PC and Xbox platforms, the game does not allow cross-platform multiplayer.
If you were hoping to play with your friends on all those platforms simultaneously, you'd be saddened to hear that you can't. At debut, Starfield will be a single-player experience. Bethesda plans to implement multiplayer once the game's narrative mode has been launched and regarded favourably by gamers.
Will Starfield have Cross Platform Progression?
Cross-progression in Starfield has yet to be formally verified. Players may use cloud saves to automatically transfer their game save from one platform to another, picking up where they left off. The game is not labelled as an Xbox Play Anywhere title on the Xbox store page, indicating that saves can be shared between PC and consoles.
Starfield is a first-party Microsoft title published by Bethesda that will be available on the Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass. Microsoft's most recent games are Xbox Play Anywhere titles. However, Starfield may differ depending on how the game handles mod support between PC and console.
If Starfield is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, it will allow cross-progression between Xbox Series X|S and PC. The game will also be available on Steam, albeit there is usually no cross-progression between the Steam and Game Pass editions.
