Crossplay is in a number of modern games but it isn\u2019t a guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re having trouble going it alone or are just looking for a friend to fight against Lilith\u2019s hordes, you\u2019ll be wanting to play the game in online co-op.<\/p>\n<p>For those playing on consoles, you can play local Diablo 4 co-op with one other person as long as you both have a Battle.net account \u2014 sorry PC owners, no local co-op for you \u2013 great news for couples looking to fight for Sanctuary together.<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to play co-op online, though, read on to see if there is Diablo 4 crossplay or not, how to play between platforms, and if there is cross-progression.<\/p> <h2><b>Is Diablo 4 crossplay?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Yes! <b>Diablo 4 is crossplay<\/b> enabled. You can play with friends across all consoles and PC, no matter which platform you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n<p>There are no limitations between each platform, either. Anyone on any console can play with anyone on any other platform. You don\u2019t need to worry about cross-generation stuff here, thankfully.<\/p>\n<p>Crossplay, too, should work with any multiplayer mode, be it co-op or PvP.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Is there cross-progression in Diablo 4?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Along with crossplay, Diablo 4 also has cross-progression. This means that if you purchase and own the game on PS4, Xbox Series X\/S and PC (for example), you can carry on your save file between each platform.<\/p>\n<p>This works as long as you sign in with the same Battle.net account on each platform, anyway.<\/p> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove\" embed=\"\"> <div class=\"&quot;embed__intrinsic&quot;\"> <div class=\"&quot;brightcove__player\" vjs-playlist-player-container=\"\"> <video data-video-id=\"6328605533112\" data-account=\"69912529001\" data-player=\"ByeOf0VZEl\" data-embed=\"&quot;default&quot;\" data-application-id=\"\" controls=\"\" class=\"&quot;video-js&quot;\"> <\/video> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<script src=\"&quot;\/\/players.brightcove.net\/69912529001\/ByeOf0VZEl_default\/index.min.js&quot;\"\/> <h2><b>How to play between platforms with Diablo 4<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To play with friends across different platforms, you need to first enable cross-platform play. Fortunately, this is a simple process but still one that needs explaining if you are yet to find the option.<\/p>\n<p>In the Diablo 4 options menu, head to the social tab. At the top of the list of options, you should see \u2018Cross-Network Play\u2019 and \u2018Cross-Network Communications\u2019. Select these options and check them both on (you should now see the boxes next to these options are filled in with a white square).<\/p>\n<p>You only need to enable Cross-Network Play to play with friends across different platforms, but we recommend switching Cross-Network Communications on too so you can chat with them via text or voice.<\/p>\n<p>Now you know how to enable cross-platform multiplayer in Diablo 4, you\u2019ll need to know how to play co-op or PvP with your friends. Follow the steps below to find out how to play multiplayer in Diablo 4:<\/p>\n<ul><li>Open the map screen<\/li>\n<li>Head to the social tab<\/li>\n<li>Select your Battle.net friend you wish to play with and either \u2018Invite to Party\u2019 or \u2018Request to Join Party\u2019\n<ul><li>Add a friend if you need to via the button in-game<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/li>\n<li>Once connected, you should see your buddy next to you on the screen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s all there is to Diablo 4 crossplay and how to play co-op multiplayer.
