Marvel’s Avengers has been heavily promoted this month, but there seems to be some concern regarding exclusives, particularly Spider-Man, which is available only on PlayStation consoles. Although Square Enix has emphasized that the game can be played solo, many multiplayer enthusiasts have raised the question: does Marvel’s Avengers support crossplay? Below is all the information you need to know, including confirmation of cross-generation multiplayer and progression.
Although the game is now available, it will continue to receive support for a long time through post-launch downloadable content (DLC), including new characters. Each of these characters will come with a $10 Battle Pass. One of the leaked DLC characters is She-Hulk, and Kate Bishop has been officially confirmed, hinting at the future addition of Hawkeye.
Is Marvel’s Avengers Cross-Platform?
At launch, Marvel’s Avengers does not support crossplay, meaning you can only play multiplayer with friends on the same platform. However, this may change in the future. Although Square Enix has not announced any plans to add cross-platform multiplayer, it is possible that this feature could be introduced in a future update. Several other games have received crossplay after release, so it’s possible that Marvel’s Avengers could follow suit.
Marvel’s Avengers Cross-Save and Cross-Generation Multiplayer
Square Enix has confirmed cross-generation saves and multiplayer for Marvel’s Avengers in an official press release. This means that your progression and multiplayer capabilities will carry over when upgrading to the next generation of consoles. Additionally, players who purchase the game on PS4 or Xbox One will receive a free upgrade to the PS5 or Xbox Series X versions.
If you’re hesitant about buying the game on current consoles, despite the free upgrade offer, there is no need to worry. You will be able to transfer your progress to the PS5 or Xbox Series X, allowing you to pick up right where you left off with your player profile.
