All PS5 Games That Work Cross-Platform On Steam (2024)

Crossplay between the PlayStation 5 and the PC gaming client Steam is a fantastic feature when it's available, allowing players to connect across space and consoles. The development of modern online features has made playing video games with friends (and strangers) much easier over time, but multiplayer still runs into frequent limitations. Many PS5 games only allow online play with other PS5 games, and the same is true for other consoles.

Luckily, crossplay has become increasingly common across many PS5 and Steam games, and the process of connecting with other players typically isn't difficult. From competitive FPS games to the best co-op adventures, there's no shortage of good options out there. Unfortunately, there is no way to filter games by crossplay support on Steam or the PS5, making it difficult to find titles that can be played between gamers on a PS5 and a PC.

Although there's no official way to filter crossplay games on either platform, several third-party websites make this information a lot easier to acquire. These are all the games on the PS5 at the moment that feature crossplay between the PS5 and Steam according to Steam Hunters:

This list frequently updates as more games add crossplay support. As new titles appear on the PlayStation Store, it's worth checking if they offer the feature. While there's no way to check this within the PS Store details, many games that have crossplay will explicitly state so in their descriptions.

If the information isn't readily available in the game's store description, another option is to check the official website for the game. If even this fails, some games have dedicated Discord channels or Reddit pages where players can ask about crossplay (and any other questions related to the games).

How To Enable Crossplay Between Steam And The PS5

Crossplay Must Be Allowed On The PS5

Crossplay is on by default on Steam, so there's no need to enable any special settings on the platform. However, while inviting someone to play a game on the PS5 typically involves adding them as a friend, it's not possible to add a Steam user as a PS5 friend. Starting a PS5 crossplay game with a Steam user requires enabling crossplay on the console.

Does Palworld PS5 Have Crossplay?

Palworld is now available for PC, Xbox, and PS5, but is there crossplay between the consoles? Can gamers play together across the different platforms?

To activate crossplay, a player needs to navigate to Profile Settings, then Privacy Settings. Scrolling to the bottom displays the option to "Get crossplay game invitations," which should be set to "Allow." Steven Lim has a helpful YouTube video that's short and sweet and shows exactly how to do these steps. Keeping this option off will prevent players from connecting between the PS5 and PC. It will also prevent PS5 players from getting matched with PC players in multiplayer experiences like matches. Enabling the feature will open players up to non-PS5 companions, including receiving and sending in-game invitations to play.

How To Invite A Friend To A Crossplay PS5 And Steam Game

This Is Typically Achieved From Within The Game

Inviting a specific friend to play between the PS5 and PC is almost always done from within the game itself. Most crossplay games, like Helldivers 2 and Call of Duty, have a way to add friends to in-game friend lists. If the game has no friend lists, it will typically use a special code, which can be shared between the players trying to connect.

There is one other way to invite a specific person to a game, and that's to use the Xbox app. This may seem completely counter-intuitive, but it's the case specifically for Sea of Thieves. While the game was originally an Xbox and Microsoft Store exclusive, it released on Steam in 2020 and PS5 in 2024. In order to invite a PC player to a PS5 session and vice versa, players must first connect on the Xbox app. Chad Reddings on YouTube shows how to do this in a brief and simple video.

Crossplay ultimately makes the gap between platforms narrower than ever before, providing a simple way to access a whole world of other players in any online game that supports it. Considering the continued growth of the PC market, crossplay can make any online PS5 game better, and there's a lot of value in playing with friends who don't have PS5s. Although the feature isn't universal, PlayStation 5 owners can link up to Steam users for a seamless crossplay experience in a wide selection of games that only continues to grow.
