Is Dark Souls III cross-platform?

Dark Souls III crossplay

No Dark Souls 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.

Summoning and invasions stay within one platform family: PS4 with PS5 (via backward compatibility), and Xbox One with Xbox Series X|S. PC (Steam) players only meet other PC players.

On PC, the fan-made Seamless Co-op mod (in alpha) lets up to six friends play the whole campaign together without the usual co-op limits. It's PC-only, so it doesn't add crossplay, and it runs separately from official online play.
