There's nothing quite like beating your friend at their favourite sport, but is Cricket 24 cross-platform? What was once a mere dream of Xbox players vs PlayStation gamers is becoming a reality across the sporting landscape.
With Cricket 24 now on the way, the question is will you be able to bowl out your friend on a different console? Games like FC 24 and Madden 24 have opened up their multiplayer world, leaving many to hope that Cricket 24 will follow suit.
Is Cricket 24 cross-platform?
The ability to matchmake with players on any platform is relatively new to the broader gaming world. It's even newer to sports titles, who resisted the trend that FPS and battle royal titles pushed forward.
The sports genre has since relented, and much to our delight Cricket 24 is following the trend. Cricket 24 will allow for full cross-platform to be made available in the new game!
That means if you are on PS5 you can blast sixes off someone on Xbox One or PC. Here's the full platform list for Cricket 24:
- PlayStation 5
- PlayStation 4
- Xbox Series X|S
- Xbox One
- Nintendo Switch
- PC
Cricket 24 release date
We finally have a confirmed release date for Cricket 24. The new game will arrive on 5 October. That date is for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The Nintendo Switch release is set for November, so those players won't have to wait too long for the port across.
Big Ant Studios is set to deliver more than 200 players with full photogrammetry, as well as more than 50 detailed recreations of official stadiums. In addition to the online mode, you will have access to a career mode in which you can improve your skills before competing with other players.
That's all for today, if you and your friends are into cricket, then this game will definitely suit you.
