If you’re looking to play the free-to-play looter shooter RPG online with friends, you’ll need to know whether The First Descendant has crossplay or not.

Crossplay, or cross-platform multiplayer as it’s otherwise known, lets you play with other people online, regardless of which platform you and they play on.

It's a great feature in online multiplayer games, especially free-to-play releases such as this where everyone can join in the fun without spending a penny.

Crossplay can be coupled with cross-progression/cross-save, which lets you carry on your save file across different platforms – perfect if you switch from PC to console on the regular.

Yes, The First Descendant is crossplay enabled. You can play with friends and other players across the platform divide.

Crossplay in The First Descendant allows all players across all platforms to play online at once – no matter if you’re playing on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One or Xbox Series X/S.

You can play with whoever you want, regardless of platform.

Better yet, The First Descendant also supports cross-progression, meaning you can pick up where you left off on any platform that can play the game.

As long as you set up a Nexon account and log in to that same account on every platform you play The First Descendant on, you will be able to keep progression across them all.

If you play on PC but want to continue without losing and save progress on PS5, for example, you can do just that.

While you can play The First Descendant alone in a private server, this is a game that was designed to be played co-op. You’ll unlock co-op after completing the tutorial/intro and you can start playing with friends from then on.
