There are few games that match the excitement of playing co-op like the Borderlands series. While titles such as Split Fiction offer fun experiences, nothing compares to teaming up with friends adn exploring Pandora as your favorite Vault Hunters. The latest installment,Borderlands 4,is set to continue this tradition. Tho, a key question remains: will it support cross-platform play?
In the past, we assumed that Borderlands 3 would have cross-platform capabilities at launch. unluckily, it didn’t and only added this feature later through updates. This time around,we’ve investigated whether Borderlands 4 will allow players on different platforms to join forces.

For those who prefer local gaming experiences, two players can still enjoy split-screen co-op while online play allows teams of four Vault Hunters to unite.
What About Cross-Progression?
While there hasn’t been an official announcement regarding cross-progression yet—allowing players to carry their characters across different platforms—we remain hopeful it will be included in this release.
