Is Call of Duty: Black Ops III cross-platform?

Call of Duty: Black Ops III crossplay

No Call of Duty: Black Ops III doesn't have crossplay: each platform family has its own players. PS5 and PS4 players can play together; Xbox Series and Xbox One players can play together.

Black Ops III came out in 2015, before Call of Duty added crossplay, so PC, PlayStation and Xbox each have their own multiplayer and Zombies players. Treyarch hasn't added crossplay since.

PS5 and Xbox Series X|S run the PS4 and Xbox One version through backward compatibility, so they play with PS4 and Xbox One players.

The PS3 and Xbox 360 versions were separate ports with Multiplayer and Zombies only (no campaign), and they only play with the same console.

The Mac version doesn't have crossplay with other platforms.

Cross-progression: No Progress stays on the platform you played on.
