Is The Finals crossplay? How to play across platforms explained

radiotimes.com:

Team-based first-person shooter The Finals has been making waves since its December release, with many players now considering jumping into the action themselves. The one thing holding them back — crossplay. Is it available? And if so, across which platforms?

Developed by Embark Studios — and inspired by the likes of The Hunger Games and Gladiators — the free-to-play game is all about making money on a virtual TV show surrounding combat. There are plenty of different modes from Cashout to Bank It to Quick Cash, with 16 teams of three duking it out for the top prize.

For those looking to invest many hours into the new FPS, knowing whether or not you can play with friends is huge. Additionally, knowing whether your progression carries over is equally as important. With this feature frequently becoming the norm across the video game genre as a whole, The Finals surely needs it to challenge its competitors. Thankfully, it is available.

Let's break down The Finals crossplay, including how to play with friends across different platforms and how to make sure cross-progression is enabled too. After all, there's nothing worse than losing progress.

Yes, the good news is that The Finals is crossplay across all platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Microsoft Windows.

This is done via an Embark ID that maintains your profile and stats regardless of where you play. Similarly, Crossplay is available as it is tied directly to the Embark ID.
