    Is Fallout 76 Cross Platform to Play with Friends on Other Devices?

    Fallout 76 is the 8th installment in the hugely popular franchise. Set in the mayhem caused by a nuclear attack that wiped most parts of the earth. Because its campaign, following a post-apocalyptic world, remained unchanged throughout the series, Bethesda, the developer behind Fallout 76, was unable to excite gamers. But, the multiplayer version of Fallout 76 did quite well. Many players want to know: Is Fallout 76 Cross Platform or Cross Generation Multiplayer Enabled?

    According to Steam charts, Fallout 76 receives between 5k and 10k players each day, indicating that it is still in very good shape. Having been released in 2018, Fallout 76 is often questioned about cross-platform compatibility. And in today’s round-up, we’ll be giving you the information to let you play with your friends on the widest number of devices possible.

    What is Cross-Platform? 

    Cross-platform refers to the game’s ability to allow players to play alongside other players using different platforms. For instance, games with cross-platform play offer the ability for Xbox players to play alongside PC players. (If the game is supported on both platforms.) If the game doesn’t offer cross-platform, it would mean that Xbox players and PC players would have different servers. Therefore, they are not able to play alongside each other. 

    What is Cross-Generation Play? 

    Cross-generational play means a multiplayer game is available on two different generations of a single console family, and players can play alongside each other. For instance, if a game is available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X and it supports Cross-generation, the players from both consoles would be able to play alongside each other. 

    What are the Supported Platforms for Fallout 76?

    Fallout 76 is available for Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Microsoft Windows. But with the backward compatibility of the next-gen consoles, Fallout 76 can be played on Xbox Series X/S and Playstation 5 as well. 

    Is Fallout 76 Cross Platform Multiplayer Enabled? 

    Fallout 76 does not support cross-platform play. This is a common complaint among many great shooters, including DayZ. It has been confirmed by Bethesda that Fallout 76 does not support cross-platform play. And it is unlikely that we will be seeing this feature in the game anytime soon. It is certainly more fun to play Fallout 76 with a friend. Yet, it cannot be played between players on different gaming platforms. 

    One of the many reasons why the cross-platform play was not announced for Fallout 76 is because the game didn’t manage to do well. The critics rated the game below average and it wasn’t the most popular game upon its release. On the contrary, Fallout 76 was heavily criticized for its lack of creativity in the gameplay and an uninspiring storyline.

    Furthermore, while the game already faced performance issues, enabling cross-platform play would be disastrous. The player wouldn’t be able to enjoy the game to its full extent. So, it would be an unsatisfactory experience for the enthusiasts.

    Does Fallout 76 Support Cross-gen Play? 

    With backward compatibility, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 could run Fallout 76. And while Fallout 76 is not natively released for Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, cross-gen play is possible. Ultimately, making Fallout 76 a game that supports cross-generation play. With this feature, players from earlier generations of consoles are able to play alongside the next-gen players. 

    Is Fallout 76 Cross-Platform between Xbox One X/S and Xbox Series X/S? 

    Yes, Fallout 76 offers cross-platform play between Xbox One X/S and Xbox Series X. This is because the same version of the game is available on both platforms. Xbox Series X uses a backward compatibility feature that allows the console to play certain games that were only made available on Xbox One X/S and not released for the next-gen consoles. 

    Xbox One X/S can team up or compete against their friends who are using the Xbox Series X/S console. The two consoles, despite being a generation apart, run the same version of the game and use the same servers, making cross-platform play possible between the two consoles. 

    Is Fallout 76 Cross-Platform between PS4 and PS5? 

    Yes, Fallout 76 can be played between two friends using different versions of the Playstation console. This is also made possible due to the fact the PS5 offers backward capabilities and can run games that were originally released for Playstation 4. Much like the Xbox scenario, players who use PS4 can team up with a friend who is using PS5 to play Fallout 76.
