Does Content Warning have cross-progression?
Not confirmed yet. Cross-progression has not been officially confirmed. Landfall's launch announcements describe crossplay and friend codes but say nothing about shared saves or account-linked progress between platforms. Some third-party sites say it is not supported, but those pages predate the console launch and are unreliable. Trophies on PlayStation are reported to match the Steam achievements, but that does not mean progress carries over.
How to turn crossplay on or off in Content Warning
- Open the in-game settings menu.
- Find the crossplay option, which Landfall added to the settings menu on April 1, 2026, and switch it on or off.
- Exact menu wording has not been officially confirmed.
