Here is exactly what crossplay covers, where it stops, and how cross-progression works.

- Marvel Rivals has crossplay between PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in Quick Match and casual modes.
- In Competitive, PC players only match with PC. PS5 and Xbox share a console pool.

Is Marvel Rivals Crossplay?
Yes. You can play with friends on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in Quick Match and other casual modes. Competitive has one big limit, covered below.
Ranked Game Crossplay
Competitive does not match PC players with console players. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players share one console pool and can queue together. The split keeps ranked fair between mouse and keyboard and controller players. If your squad mixes PC and console, you can play Quick Match together but not Competitive. Ranked also has its own party size and rank limits; see which ranks can play together in Marvel Rivals.
Does Marvel Rivals Have Cross-Progression?
Yes. Cross-progression launched with Season 5 on November 14, 2025. You can link your accounts so your progress follows you between PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Season 5 also added cross-platform chat on Xbox.
One thing does not carry over: your competitive rank. Rank is kept per platform, so a Diamond on PC can still be Gold on PS5.
How To Enable & Disable Crossplay In Marvel Rivals
The ability to enable or disable Marvel Rivals crossplay will depend on which platform you are playing on.

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players need to do the following:
- Launch Marvel Rivals
- Open settings and navigate to the Social section

- If you want to turn off crossplay, then uncheck the box
- If you want to turn crossplay back on, then check this checkbox.
