Another major Darktide update arrives and the community proceeds to dissect it hoping for that one announcement they always seem to hope for with each major update: crossplay. Of course the update does include some nice tweaks to the guns and fixes one of the most persistent crashes on Carnival, but ultimately the community is left with the same unfulfilled dreams of a single unified player base. The developers likely recognize the importance of this feature, but with seemingly insurmountable technical hurdles to cross (i.e. servers, account syncing, anti-cheat measures for PC vs console play) it seems to me that this feature will come in due time but I wouldn’t hold my breath for any particular update to bring it.

So my cousin and I are on different consoles. I’m on PS4 and he is on PS5. I initially searched online to see if the game supported cross-gen and everything that I read stated that it did. So my cousin and I bought the game, downloaded it and we could press invite and join each other’s games instantly. No extra settings, no extra accounts etc.. Just a very simple experience. The game is terrifyingly fun and even more so with someone to share the experience with. My only worry before purchasing the game was that I’m on an older console and that it may hold us back in some way or even cause problems, but no. The only drawback is that my loading screen is slightly longer than my cousin’s, so I am always the last one to join the lobby, but that is about it. So, to answer the question in the title, no there are no cross-gen issues whatsoever.

I get giddy talking about co-op horror, so here’s the short, useful version I’d tell a buddy before we queue up: you can usually play with friends across different systems in 'The Outlast Trials' thanks to cross-play support, but your individual progression—like unlocked perks, character levels, and most cosmetics—doesn't automatically follow you if you jump from, say, Steam to a PlayStation account.
From what I've dug through patch notes and forums, the multiplayer servers let players mix platforms for matches, which is awesome for finding parties. Progression data tends to be saved to whichever storefront or account you used while playing (Steam, Epic, PSN, Xbox). That means purchases, unlocked items, and local saves are typically tied to that platform. Occasionally there are exceptions for things tied to a publisher account, but Red Barrels hasn't rolled out a fully seamless cross-progression system that moves everything between PC and consoles for most players.
If you're planning to switch platforms, consider checking receipts for purchased DLC and be ready to treat the new platform as a fresh start unless the developer explicitly confirms account linking. Personally I love that I can still team up with friends on other machines, even if I have to grind some cosmetics again — the scares are still worth it.

No crossplay issues playing with the switch player here. All good with my buddy last weekend playing on the PC. Only minor complaint is the UI looks a bit cramped on the Switch’s screen for split-screen. But trading that off for portable co-op with friends on other platforms is a fair trade.

No PS5 version of Modern Warfare for now. Brothers in Arms or Sniper Elite 5 will give you similar large scale tactical action. I hope EA announce this at their next showcase.

So, for a few bucks and an hour or so of your time, you can test out the PSPlay app on a spare Fire Stick and see how it works for you. The app is essentially a donation to the developer that is trying to solve this problem. Go in with very low expectations. If it works fantastically, then that is a huge bonus. However, if it does not work as expected, then at least you will have learned something new. However, if you need something that 100% works and causes no headaches, then look at the various official solutions first. The Fire Stick shouldn’t be your primary means of trying to achieve this.

The jailbreak rabbit hole for the PS5. I modded a few old consoles a long time ago but this is all new to me. The few jailbreaks out there are really unreliably unstable, and the pirated games you can play through them can be easily bad for your system with malware. The legal team for Sony is reportedly very aggressive, and they have even gone after to sell jailbreaks for the console. Maybe GameFly or wait for a sale instead? Your $500 console is worth more than that to you, I'm sure.

This game is for PS5 so I'm curious how it performs compared to PC. Load times any good? Frame rate holding up in the larger maps such as the high school? The controls are a means to an end and if the game performs well then learning the button combinations is a small price to pay. However, if the game is buggy then no amount of tweaking of controls will make up for it. Does anyone have any info on how the game performs on the PS5? My PC is getting on in years and this game is a great experience on it.

I think it's pretty clear that TaleWorlds did not design Bannerlord with console play in mind. As a PC game from a certain era, everything about Bannerlord – from its deep menus to its conversations displayed in a radial choice list – is just plain better with a mouse and keyboard. Even though I really love this game, I wouldn’t recommend it to a controller-only player. It’s a lot of fighting against the interface to try to defeat Vaegirs. Play Bannerlord the way it was meant to be played: clear some space on that desktop of yours, grab a mouse and get to it!
