Is Payday 2 cross-platform?
Payday 2 crossplay
No Payday 2 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.
On PC, Steam and Epic players can play together. That's the only crossplay: PlayStation, Xbox and Switch each have their own players.
PS5 and Xbox Series X|S run the PS4 and Xbox One versions, so they play with PS4 and Xbox One players.
On PC, crossplay covers Epic and Steam.
Cross-progression: No Progress stays on the platform you played on.
