Is War Thunder Crossplay?

Gaijin Entertainment’s War Thunder is an MMO combat game. The game’s open beta was released in 2013 for macOS, Windows, PS4/5, Linux, Oculus, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and Vive.

Later, the full version of the game was released on 21 Dec, 2016. In 2023, Gaijin Entertainment released War Thunder for iOS and Android with a spinoff called War Thunder Edge. As War Thunder has a massive fanbase, every player wants to know: Is War Thunder crossplay and cross-progression?

Is War Thunder Crossplay?

Yes! War Thunder supports crossplay between PS4/5, Mac, Windows, and Linux. The only platform that doesn’t support crossplay is mobile i.e. iOS and Android. Every player can enjoy cross-platforms seamlessly and enjoy crossplay.

Xbox also enjoys the crossplay feature in the setting option. Otherwise, Xbox can only play with players playing on Xbox. When you enable the crossplay option you can play with all the console and PC players but only access the game modes in Ground and Air Arcade battles.

The game is exactly the same for both the consoles and PC. But there are slight differences such as PC players get XM-1 (GM) and console players get a different version of XM-1 (Chrysler).

Is War Thunder Cross-progression?

Yes! War Thunder supports cross-progression. But there is a catch, it doesn’t support cross-save for PC players. You can transfer your game progress from consoles (Xbox and PS) to PC but not from PC to consoles.

There are also some limitations for console players. If you send your game progress from PS or Xbox to PC, it will create two separate accounts one for your console and one for PC. Once the progress, achievement, and rewards are moved both accounts become separate and your PC progress will not reflect in the console.

Another big difference is console players don’t have access to the Gaijin Market, an auction place. This auction place is only available for PC players.
