How to Turn On Crossplay in Borderlands 3: A Step-by-Step Guide
Borderlands 3’s latest update has brought a highly anticipated feature: Crossplay. Now, players on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Mac, and PC (via Steam or Epic Games Store) can finally team up and play together, breaking down platform barriers. If you’re eager to start playing with friends across different platforms, this guide will walk you through how to enable Crossplay in Borderlands 3.
Enabling Crossplay from the Start Screen
After downloading the update, launch Borderlands 3. When you reach the starting screen, you’ll notice a message about Crossplay. This screen offers the option to opt in or opt out of Crossplay. If you want to play with friends across platforms, simply choose the opt-in option. If you prefer not to use Crossplay, you can select the opt-out option.
Turning Crossplay On or Off from the Options Menu
If you missed the initial Crossplay prompt or want to change your preference later, there’s another way to enable or disable it. Follow these steps:
- From the Main Menu, go to Options.
- Navigate to Networks & Social.
- Here, you will see a toggle labeled Enable Crossplay. Switch it on or off as desired.
Crossplay Name Requirements
When playing with Crossplay enabled, keep in mind that your username must meet the following criteria:
- Unique: Your name must not already be in use by another player.
- Length: 3-16 characters long.
- Valid Characters: Your name should start with a letter (A-Z or a-z) and can include numbers (0-9), as well as non-consecutive underscores (_), hyphens (-), or periods (.).
Ensure your name meets these conditions; otherwise, you won’t be able to access Crossplay. But don’t worry, these rules are easy to follow.
More Reasons to Celebrate Crossplay
With Crossplay active, you can now connect with friends on any platform and enjoy Borderlands 3 together. Whether it’s tackling missions, looting gear, or simply having fun, this feature opens up many new opportunities for gameplay.
