With the release of NBA 2K25, many players are eager to know if the game supports crossplay and cross-platform functionality. Here’s a comprehensive look at what you can expect.
Is NBA 2K25 Cross-Platform?
Yes, NBA 2K25 does feature cross-platform play, but with some limitations. The game allows crossplay between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S players. This means that if you own either of these consoles, you can compete against friends on the other platform. However, this crossplay functionality does not extend to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, or PC players.
How to Enable Crossplay in NBA 2K25
To enable crossplay on your console, follow these steps:
For PlayStation 5:
1. Open NBA 2K25 and go to the main menu.
2. Navigate to Features and select Settings.
3. Scroll down to the Crossplay setting and toggle it on.
For Xbox Series X|S:
1. Open the Xbox menu and go to Settings.
2. Navigate to Account and select Privacy & Online Safety.
3. Select Xbox Privacy and then View details & customize.
4. Click on Communication & Multiplayer and switch the setting from allow to block.
Cross-Progression in NBA 2K25
NBA 2K25 also supports cross-progression within the same console family. This means that your progress in modes like MyTeam and your VC Wallet will carry over between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, or between Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. Unfortunately, cross-progression is not available between different console families or for PC and Nintendo Switch.
Conclusion
While NBA 2K25 does offer some crossplay functionality, it is limited to the latest generation of consoles. Players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can enjoy playing together, but those on older consoles or different platforms will not have this feature. Cross-progression is also limited to the same console family, ensuring that your progress is maintained if you upgrade within the same brand.
