As any Xbox or PC gamer knows, cross play is a feature that allows players on different platforms to interact with each other seamlessly. With games like Fortnite and PUBG, cross play has become an essential part of the gaming experience.
But what about Ubisoft’s latest game, Far Cry 6? As it turns out, cross play between Xbox and PC is not currently possible.
This was first confirmed by Ubisoft back in March, and since then there has been much confusion as to why this is the case.
In this blog post, we will attempt to answer some of the most common questions about Far Cry 6 cross play and why it’s not currently possible. Hopefully, this post will help clear up some of the confusion surrounding this issue.
Is Far Cry 6 Cross play Xbox and PC?
No, Far Cry 6 is not cross-platform compatible. This means that you can only play the game on the platform it was purchased for and those who bought the game for Xbox One or PlayStation 4 can only play with other people on those consoles.
It sounds like we might not be playing Far Cry 6 with our friends on the PS4 or Xbox One.
With cross-generational play, a player on a PlayStation 5, Xbox One Series X and/or PC and the player on a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One S can play together online.
Far Cry 4 doesn’t support any form of cross-platform play.
Can PC and PS4 play Far Cry 5 together?
Far Cry 5 is available for play on PC and PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles, so players will not be able to play together via cross-platform. For example, if one player uses a PC/Mac and the other uses a PS4/PS5, the game will not be able to sync in-game progress between each platform.
Can you play Far Cry 6 with PC and PS5?
No, Far Cry 6 does not run on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Last Words
Currently, there is no official confirmation that Far Cry 6 will be cross play between Xbox and PC. However, Ubisoft has been known to support cross play in the past, so it’s certainly possible. If you’re looking to play the game on a different platform than your primary one, make sure to check if it’s officially supported before buying the game.
Far Cry 6 is set to release on November 11th for the Xbox One and PS4, but does that mean it will also be available on the PC? We reached out to Ubisoft for an answer and they had this to say: “At this time, Far Cry 6 is not planned for release on the PC.” This doesn’t rule out a possible release down the line, but it’s clear at this point that PC gamers won’t be able to take part in the open world action of Far Cry 6.
