Is Lords of the Fallen cross-platform?

If there’s one thing you can count on in nearly any Soulslike game, it’s that you’re going to face some hefty challenges along your journey. That rings as true as ever in Lords of the Fallen, which tasks you with exploring treacherous locales and facing off against horrifying and deadly creatures around every corner. As such, you may find yourself wanting to bring a friend along for some cooperative play as you would in Elden Ring, and you can do exactly that by simply inviting them to your world, where they can stay for as long as they’d like. But not all Soulslikes are cross-platform games, so we’ll fill you in on whether this one is.

The quick and easy answer to whether Lords of the Fallen has crossplay is yes, it features crossplay just like Minecraft and Sea of Thieves. However, this only works between PC and each console individually, meaning that PlayStation 5 and Xbox players can’t connect with one another. For those on either platform looking to connect with PC players, though, you can freely invite someone for co-op (or invade them for PVP) with no issues whatsoever.

It’s also worth keeping in mind that Lords of the Fallen only allows one co-op partner to join you on your adventure at any given time, so you won’t be able to bring multiple friends along. Luckily, though, you don’t have to worry about them being removed after defeating a boss, as the game bucks genre conventions by allowing you to co-op for as long as you’d like with no interruptions.

Saros: release window, trailers, and more

The slate of upcoming PS5 games is starting to really take shape with games like Ghost of Yotei and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. One of the newer studios to become a first-party PlayStation team was Housemarque. Originally a team that worked on amazing arcade-style games, it broke the mold with one of the best roguelikes on PS5 with Returnal. The studio's next game looks like an evolution of the winning formula found with that game but is still shrouded in mystery. Here is everything we know so far about the upcoming video game known as Saros.

Because Saros is a PS5 exclusive, you won't find it on our lists of upcoming Xbox Series X games, upcoming Switch games, or upcoming PC games.
