The straightforward answer is Yes. NBA The Run supports crossplay between consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

This means that, no matter the platform your friends are playing on, you will be able to squad up and face other teams in the fast-paced and arcade-style gameplay that NBA The Run provides.

The game has crossplay support for both online and offline game modes. So, if you want to create a private tournament for you and your friends to enjoy, you can do so while not having to worry about the platform they're playing on.

It's worth noting that there won't be a way to disable crossplay, at least not at launch. You will face and team up with players from all platforms.

However, an option to disable crossplay may be made available after the game launches, especially if the community makes it a big point of emphasis, as the devs at Play by Play Studios have shown they are attentively listening to feedback.

NBA The Run officially launches on June 9th, 2026, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The game has two editions, Standard and Deluxe, and pre-orders for both are already live.
