PGA 2K23 Crossplay: Will the game support multi-platform functionality?

PGA 2K23 is less than a week away from its scheduled release date of October 14, and fans have been eager to discover what the developers have up their sleeves. Crossplay is one key feature that is present on much of the community's list.

So far, developer 2K has revealed several important pieces of information for any potential player. Despite having multiplayer game modes, those who want Crossplay will be disappointed. While official information regarding this hasn't been given out, PGA 2K23 won't have the feature when the game comes out this year.

Crossplay has been a relatively recent development in modern gaming and has strengthened over the last decade. It allows players of multiplayer games to get together without bothering about the platform they're using. This has been a staple of the gaming community, and fans have asked for its inclusion in all applicable titles.

2K has given no hints at PGA 2K23 having Crossplay, despite presence of multiplayer

Crossplay has been an important feature in several sports games released in 2022. F1 2022 featured the mechanism for the first time in the series' history, and FIFA 23 has followed suit. Expectations were high that 2K would do something similar.

As of now, PGA 2K23 getting crossplay seems highly unlikely. The last game of the series didn't have the feature, and since then, 2K hasn't announced anything that suggests a change. Based on what's been shown as part of the trailer and other content, there hasn't been any indication of crossplay being introduced.

Given how breathtaking this feature would have been, one would have expected it to be added to the game. With no such thing happening, it all but indicates that players will have their hands tied as far as accessibility is concerned once again. While multiplayer modes will certainly be present, they will be restricted by the platforms of their choice.

While players can choose to play independently, PGA 2K23 will allow them to challenge each other in different game modes. Crossplay would certainly have been much more interesting and allowed greater competition among players. With the current system, the competition will certainly be limited as they will be restricted by the platform they play on.

It can't be ruled out that the game won't be getting crossplay eventually. Both F1 2021 and FIFA 22 didn't have the feature initially, but it was tested selectively. Something similar could be done by 2K once the game is released. The developers have already promised post-launch content, so there might be an unannounced surprise as well.

While the absence of crossplay is a dampener, there won't be any shortage of excitement and thrill. The game will be released on both generations of consoles and PCs, so players with different systems will be able to play it.

The 2022-release will retain some of the last game's favorite features. There will also be additions made to the game that include new venues and the return of legendary golfer, Tiger Woods.

Overall, a lot of content awaits the players when the game is released on October 14. PGA 2K23 is still up for pre-order, and players can secure a nice bonus, including Michael Jordan as a playable character.
