Is Lords of the Fallen Cross Platform? Crossplay and Cross-Progression (2026)

Nick GuliNick Guli|

Yes. Checked on Oct 11, 2026.

Lords of the Fallen (2023) allows crossplay among PC users (Steam, Epic, and Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The developer’s co-op FAQ mentions that crossplay functions via password matchmaking in Beckon Lampbearer, Join Session, and Slaughter Lampbearer (PvP invasions). Initially, reports indicated PS5 and Xbox players couldn’t connect. However, Version 2.0 (April 2025) later confirmed crossplay across all platforms. Still, Explosion hasn’t found any updates post-2.0 addressing the earlier console-to-console restrictions.

Nintendo Switch 2 Not on this platform The 2023 game is not on Switch 2. Lords of the Fallen II is confirmed for Switch 2, but it is unreleased and its crossplay support has not been officially confirmed.

Does Lords of the Fallen have cross-progression?

No. Cross-progression and cross-save were not offered at launch. Reporting based on the developers said this was because it would have required a Hexworks account. A later addition has not been officially confirmed. Co-op sessions have shared progression modes, but these apply only inside a session and do not move a save between platforms.

How to turn crossplay on or off in Lords of the Fallen

  1. Open Settings and go to the Multiplayer tab (it can also be reached from any active Vestige).
  2. Turn on Online mode. Offline mode disables all online features, including co-op and PvP.
  3. Turn on Allow Crossplay.
  4. Set the same session password on both players' games, using the Multiplayer settings or the Vestige menu.
  5. At a Vestige, one player chooses Beckon Lampbearer and the other chooses Join Session. For Shared Progression co-op, use Join Session (Shared Progression).

Lords of the Fallen crossplay FAQ

Is Lords of the Fallen cross platform?

Yes. Lords of the Fallen (2023) supports crossplay between PC (Steam, Epic and Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to the developer's co-op FAQ, crossplay works through password matchmaking in Beckon Lampbearer, Join Session and Slaughter Lampbearer (PvP invasions). Early launch reports said PS5 and Xbox players could not play together. Version 2.0 (April 2025) later listed crossplay across all platforms, but Explosion has not found a post-2.0 statement that directly addresses the old console-to-console limit.

Can PC and PS5 players play Lords of the Fallen together?

Yes. PC players can team up with PlayStation 5 players for co-op or PvP by turning on Allow Crossplay and using a matching session password.

Can Xbox and PlayStation players play together?

Reports at launch said they could not. The developer's Version 2.0 co-op FAQ later described crossplay through password matchmaking across PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic and the Windows Store, so console-to-console play is now reported as supported. A statement from the developer that specifically addresses the old console limit has not been confirmed.

Can a friend who does not own the game join through crossplay?

Yes. The free Friend's Pass lets a player without the game join a host who owns it. It is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic and the Windows Store, and crossplay works through a matching password.

Can saves be moved between PC and consoles?

No. Cross-progression has not been offered, so a character stays on the platform where it was created.

Is there crossplay on Nintendo Switch or Switch 2?

No. The 2023 game is not on Nintendo platforms. The sequel, Lords of the Fallen II, is confirmed for Switch 2 but is unreleased, so its crossplay support has not been officially confirmed.
