Is Godfall Cross-Platform?

Gearbox's "Godfall" has expanded its reach in a big way in the two years since its initial arrival. After releasing as a PlayStation 5 launch title in 2020 with a coinciding PC release, "Godfall" received a last-generation port to the PlayStation 4 last August. Though it had mixed reviews, Gearbox's high fantasy action RPG will be ending its Sony timed-exclusivity window, as it will release on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S as "Godfall: Ultimate Edition."

With the game's arrival on a new family of consoles, questions have been raised about whether gamers will be able to play together online, regardless of console. While this "looter-slasher" is a single-player game at heart, players can join with up to three others in an online cooperative mode. This has led players to question whether cross-play will be an option and whether new Xbox players will be able to join games with PlayStation gamers that have enjoyed the game for years.

In short, yes and no. "Godfall" does support some amount of cross-play and cross-saving, but only to an extremely limited extent. Gearbox's "Godfall" FAQ, last updated on January 6, 2022, notes that cross-play and cross-saving are available between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. That said, no such functionality allows players to cross-play or cross-save between the PC and PlayStation family of consoles.

Currently, there's no official comment on the extent of Xbox's cross-platform support of "Godfall." Given the game's current cross-platform state, it's very likely that the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S will have cross-play and cross-save support between them. With Microsoft's ownership of the Windows operating system, it's not unreasonable to believe that the PC version will have cross-platform support with the Xbox family of consoles. Even so, given the game's lack of cross-platform support between the PC and the PlayStation, don't expect that Microsoft and Sony's families of consoles will have the same support.
