AEW Fight Forever is a game that has raised many eyebrows in recent months, with still no sign of a confirmed release date for this WWE 2K23 competitor.
Legal battles and controversy at Tony Khan's company have led to multiple delays for the game and we're almost certainly reaching a 'now or never' space for the title.
That being said, there's still plenty of buzz and prospective players just want more and more info on this new wrestling title.
One major cause for hype is cross-play and we're taking a look at whether it will be implemented into AEW Fight Forever.
AEW Fight Forever Cross-Play
Right now, cross-play has not been mentioned as part of the promotional features for AEW Fight Forever.
We learned AEW Fight Forever will be available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
On top of that, the game will have a standardized $59.99 price point across all platforms with no price hike on next-gen editions.
As we saw with the recent release of WWE 2K23, there was no cross-play compatibility in that game, and we're expecting this same rule to apply to AEW's challenger.
Whilst we know that AEW Fight Forever will release across multiple platforms, both old and new generations, we also know that cross-play implementation is highly unlikely right now.
