Yes. Borderlands 3 supports cross-platform play across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Mac, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Crossplay runs through SHiFT Matchmaking, and players are prompted to enable it and create a Crossplay Display Name when they first launch the game.
Borderlands set the template for a loot-shooter, arguably giving rise to the likes of Destiny and its sequel, and while Borderlands 4 is out as of September 2025, Borderlands 3 remains a popular title – not least because it offers plenty of mayhem and diverse character-building potential for a fraction of the price.
That makes it easier than ever to squad up with friends for co-op sessions (or even playing the entire campaign), but can you play alongside players on other platforms through cross-platform play? Or are you stuck with a smaller pool of players? We’ve got you covered.
Yes, PlayStation, Xbox, Mac, and PC players can all play together in Borderlands 3.
Borderlands 3 uses SHiFT Matchmaking for crossplay. When you first launch the game, you’ll be asked whether to enable or disable crossplay and to set a Crossplay Display Name. That display name is required for SHiFT Matchmaking functionality.
If you want a simple setup walkthrough, it works like this:
Players can also change that display name later through the SHiFT website or through the Social menu in Borderlands 3.
Crossplay and cross-save are not the same thing. Borderlands 3 supports full cross-platform multiplayer, but progression transfer is more limited.
You can move between some versions within the same console family, and there is limited transfer support between Steam and Epic on PC. That is not the same as full cross-platform cross-save.
Some older Borderlands 3 guides are outdated because the rollout happened in stages. In 2021, crossplay support launched without PlayStation. Later updates added PlayStation crossplay on PS4 and PS5 with other platforms.
That is why older pages may still treat PlayStation as an exception even though the current answer is yes.
Is Borderlands 3 cross-platform in 2026?
Yes. Borderlands 3 supports crossplay across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Mac, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store.
Does Borderlands 3 support PlayStation and Xbox crossplay?
Yes. Borderlands 3 supports crossplay across both PlayStation and Xbox platforms.
Do you need SHiFT for Borderlands 3 crossplay?
Yes. Borderlands 3 crossplay is powered by SHiFT Matchmaking, and players are prompted to set a Crossplay Display Name for it to work.
Does Borderlands 3 support cross-save?
Cross-save is more limited than crossplay. Some same-family console transfers are possible, and there is limited transfer support between Steam and Epic on PC, but there is no full cross-platform character transfer across all systems.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
