After all, the new game is entirely multiplayer-focused and heavily reliant on co-op. Crossplay and cross progression are important for titles like this since they allow for a larger player pool and preserve in-game progression for those who choose to play on multiple platforms. Thankfully, there’s good news on both fronts for the players.

Does The First Descendant have crossplay?

The answer is yes—Nexon’s latest sensation offers crossplay on all available platforms. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing on a PC and your friend is playing on a console. In fact, there’s full crossplay support between the consoles as well, irrespective of their generations.

In fact, one of the open beta tests was performed in August last year to test out crossplay capabilities. The test was quite successful and was available on consoles and PCs. The same is applicable to the game now that it’s released worldwide.

Does The First Descendant have crossprogression?

Yes, you can play with the same account on multiple platforms. The presence of crossprogression allows you to carry over your in-game progress without having to bother about where you’re playing. This is an extremely useful addition that has a heavy reliance on the grind.

Make sure your console accounts are linked to the same mail ID to transfer your progress from one device to another.

The First Descendant available platforms

While many developers have ditched the older-gen consoles in recent years, Nexon hasn’t done so. As a result, their latest game is available on both the old and current-gen consoles of both Xbox and PlayStation. Additionally, you can play it on a PC after downloading it via Steam. While the start has been pretty decent, there are plenty of issues plaguing the players as of writing.
