Is Off The Grid crossplay? Multiplayer between platforms explained
Can we battle across platforms?
Off The Grid is one of the most exciting new Battle Royales for some time. This is partly because it comes from the mind of Neill Blomkamp, the director of District 9, Elysium and Chappie (check out our interview with him about the project here!)
His films about aliens, augmented humans, and robots – and their gritty cyberpunk aesthetic – are a perfect match for a multiplayer Battle Royale shooter like this.
We've been waiting for Off The Grid for two years, and it's awesome that the game is almost here.
It looks exactly like what you'd expect from a Blomkamp idea brought to the gaming sphere; high tech warfare, futuristic weapons, and a dark sense of humour tying it all together.
Once it arrives, though, will crossplay be available?

On Fortnite, for example, gamers on PlayStation can play with those on Xbox and PC.
Will this be the case for Off The Grid, or will we be secluded to those on our own platform?
Let's take a look.
Is Off The Grid crossplay? Multiplayer between platforms explained
At the time of writing, it looks like Off The Grid does not have a crossplay option. This is a bit of a shame, because the game is available on the three big platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, and PC), and crossplay would have made it quite the online event.
But we're sure it'll be an absolute blast, even if we won't be in the same battles as some of our friends.
Things might change in the future, too. It's not unknown for a game to support crossplay later on, after it didn't at launch.
If anything does change, we'll be sure to update this very page. Until then, check out how to enter the early access here.
