Aliens: Fireteam Elite Season 2<\/a> launches on 14th December and it comes with plenty of new content for the fans of the cult horror franchise to enjoy.<\/p>\n

There is a brand new mode called Point Defense, a Tower Defense-like mode where you will need to defend strategic points from the xenomorph onslaught.<\/p>\n

Then there are four new guns, 13 new attachments, a handful of new unlockable and purchasable skins, and of course,  the new Lifetime Stats feature.<\/p>\n

And for all of you Xbox Game Pass subscribers, the game is now available on Game Pass which means that you can play it without spending an extra penny.<\/p>\n

And if you are unsure if you will be able to play it with your friends on PC or PlayStation, here’s what we know about crossplay support in Aliens: Fireteam Elite.<\/p>\n

Is Aliens: Fireteam Elite cross-platform?<\/h2>\n

While the game’s arrival on Xbox Game Pass seems like the perfect opportunity to introduce full cross-play support, unfortunately, Aliens: Fireteam Elite does not feature cross-platform support.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This means that if you play the game on Xbox consoles, you won’t be able to team up with your friends on  PlayStation consoles, and vice versa.<\/p>\n

It’s not all bad news though, as there is partial cross-platform support<\/strong>. Those of you who play on PC will be able to play with console players, which means that you can have a group of players that play on PC + Xbox or PC + PlayStation, just not a mix of Xbox and PlayStation players.<\/p>\n

Cross-generational support is also present<\/strong>, which means that Xbox Series X\/S players can team up with Xbox One players, and PS5 owners can play with their PS4 friends.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Cold Iron Studios, the developers behind Aliens: Fireteam Elite, has neither confirmed nor denied the possibility of adding cross-platform support in the future, so there’s hope that you will eventually be able to blast aliens together with your friends from rival platforms.<\/p>\n
