All the best multiplayer games in the modern age, from survival games like Ark: Survival Evolved to RPGs like Genshin Impact, live and die based on their player count. With a battle royale like Apex Legends where you need a lot more players for a match than a traditional multiplayer game, you would assume it is a cross-platform game. Those who played early on may know that this wasn’t true, but what about now? There have been years of updates, but was cross-platform support ever introduced?
Yes, after an initial beta period, Apex Legends has fully integrated cross-platform support for all players by default. This includes PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and even Switch players.
Unlike some games with cross-platform support like Valorant, Apex Legends does not keep PC players separate from those on consoles. However, if you do feel you are at a disadvantage because of your platform, you can turn crossplay off at any time.
Apex Legends also features full cross-progression. Any cosmetics and player progression you make on your account can be picked up and used on any supported platform with nothing lost in the process. Just log in with the same EA account and you will be good to go.
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.
