As the Lords of the Fallen release date draws near, the gaming community is abuzz with anticipation. While some are itching to uncover the game's inner workings, others have their eyes set on a different aspect - accessibility. Specifically, they're eager to learn whether the game will offer the convenience of crossplay and cross-platform functionality.

Imagine the freedom it brings – continuing your adventure regardless of the gaming console you're using and joining forces with friends across different devices. So, in this guide, we'll dive deep into the heart of the matter, exploring whether Lords of the Fallen will unleash the power of crossplay and cross-platform functionality upon its release.

Does Lords of the Fallen Feature Cross-play? 

Thankfully, we've received official confirmation that Lords of the Fallen will indeed feature crossplay across all platforms when the game releases on October 13th. This includes the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC, and is exciting news as it means that players will have the flexibility to join their friends, no matter which platform they're using, creating numerous opportunities for engaging multiplayer experiences, a unique aspect of the game.

In Lords of the Fallen, unlike some games like Dark Souls with their Summoning feature that allows large teams of players to group up, you'll be limited to summoning or playing with just one friend. This setup creates a Co-op mode as you venture through the entire game. Fortunately, the game boasts a significantly longer gameplay experience than the original 2014 release, ensuring that players have a plethora of battles to conquer with their chosen companions.

Does Lords of the Fallen Feature Cross-Platform Functionality? 

However, when it comes to cross-progression – the ability to seamlessly switch between platforms while retaining your save game progress – Lords of the Fallen doesn't mention this feature on their game description page. As a result, likely, cross-platform functionality won't be available. This means that players should exercise caution when purchasing the game, as they may not be able to access their saved progress on a different platform.

The good news is that this limitation won't impact your ability to enjoy cross-platform play with your friends. So you won't need to overthink your choice of platform when it comes to playing with buddies. Nevertheless, it's crucial to make an informed decision about your preferred gaming platform for individual play. In summary, this covers all you need to know about the crossplay and cross-platform functionality offered to all players in Lords of the Fallen.
