If you plan on getting and hopping into Borderlands 4 but don’t know whether the game supports cross-platform play, cross-save, and cross-progression, I’ve got the official answers for you.

While not before, but now, players often expect multiplayer games to support cross-platform, cross-save, and cross-progression, as it gives players more freedom to play the game with anyone and on any platform without worrying about losing their progress.

Borderlands 4 is no exception, as it is one of the original co-op looter shooters that technically gave birth to the looter shooter genre.

Moreover, since the game is arriving on all major platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5 and 5 Pro, Xbox Series X | S, and Nintendo Switch 2, having these cross-platform, save, and progression features is a must.

But does Borderlands 4 offer it? Well, I am here to answer that.

Difference between cross-platform play, cross-save, and cross-progression

Here is what each term means and the difference between them:

  • Cross-play: Players on different platforms can play together.
  • Cross-save: Players can play the same save file on any platform. (Playing it on PC and then resuming from where you left off on PlayStation or Xbox)
  • Cross-progression: Players’ account-based progress is being shared across all platforms. For example, unlocks, loot, etc.

Is there cross-platform support in Borderlands 4?

Yes! Borderlands 4 supports full cross-platform play.

So whether you are playing the game on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch 2, you will be able to play it with your friends who are on different platforms.

Is there cross-save support in Borderlands 4?

Sadly, at launch, Borderlands 4 will not feature cross-save support.

However, Gearbox has confirmed that it is on their radar, which means we may get the cross-save support post-launch through a small update.

Is there cross-progression support in Borderlands 4?

Similar to cross-save, Borderlands 4 will not feature cross-progression at launch. However, it may get added post-launch as Gearbox is looking into it.

That concludes my article on whether Borderlands 4 supports cross-platform play, cross-save, and cross-progression. If the article helped, please consider buying me a Coffee to help me create more content. You can also share the guide with your friends or leave a comment.
