These great Xbox Game Pass games support cross-platform multiplayer.
Although still not a default practice, crossplay has grown considerably in popularity. Nowadays, cross-platform games are not unheard of, which makes sense since these titles rely on having active communities. If it is possible to bring everyone together rather than divide the player base, that should extend the project’s lifespan.
One of the best deals in gaming, Xbox Game Pass has an impressively diverse library that caters to most genres and player requirements. Although not heavily promoted, Microsoft’s subscription service also has a few cross-platform titles. Therefore, that begs the question – which are the best crossplay games on Game Pass?
Back 4 Blood launched with crossplay enabled as the game’s default setting; therefore, most players have likely already used the feature. Inspired by timeless classics like Left 4 Dead, Turtle Rock’s project is a first-person shooter that heavily favors co-op, although it is possible to play single-player.

In the main campaign, four players combine forces to take on The Ridden, zombie-esque monsters that are relatively typical for the genre. Back 4 Blood’s defining feature is the inclusion of cards that allow for a degree of customization, both in terms of character builds and level layout. Turtle Rock has confirmed that Back 4 Blood’s development has concluded, so the game’s current form should be its final one.
Mortal Kombat 11 is extra special since it is one of the few Xbox Game Pass crossplay games also on PS Plus Extra; therefore, subscribers can face off in epic and bloody duels. That said, NetherRealm’s Krossplay comes with a few restrictions since players need to be on same-gen hardware. Furthermore, the feature is only available on PlayStation and Xbox systems; however, Xbox players can face off against PC users who are using the Microsoft store.
Released in 2019, Mortal Kombat 11 has generally enjoyed a good run, despite garnering early backlash due to its monetization practices. Combat-wise, MK11 focuses on methodical gameplay, demanding that players take a more strategic approach to battles. While no longer at its peak, the game’s multiplayer is still reasonably active.
