The Battlefield series has a lot of great titles to revisit. If the latest release, Battlefield 6, isn’t your forte. And with so many eras to choose from, one of the prominent winners is Battlefield 1. Many players, including myself, not only love the look of it, but the gameplay feels the most at home in the series. So much so that many players find themselves returning to WW1 trench warfare. However, as many go back, it’s during a time when you can play with others on different platforms. Because of this, it begs the question: Is BF1 one of the titles to have crossplay with it? Before you go diving into the WW1 masterpiece, we break down whether the game has the feature. As well as cross-progression, if you are looking to switch platforms.
Is BF1 Crossplay?
Unfortunately, Battlefield 1 does not feature crossplay support for any platform. Players are strictly made to play with those on their respective chosen option. For example, PlayStation and Xbox players cannot play together or with PC players. Or vice versa. When the game launched in 2016, the feature was not available or particularly prominent. And as time has gone on, it seems EA and DICE have chosen not to add it. Even other popular titles like Battlefield 4 haven’t seen the requested feature implemented.
Furthermore, it’s unlikely that we will see it added after all this time. The game still has its fair share of players in the community, though. I have noticed during the weekends that servers for it can fill rather quickly. But, when it comes to games in the series with crossplay, currently, it’s only Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6.
Does BF1 Have Cross-Progression?
Battlefield 1 does not have cross-progression features on any platforms. So players who are looking to play the game on a different console or PC will have to start over. Because of this, once you start on one, it’s best to stay there unless you have others on a different platform. In Battlefield 1, many of the weapons and class items are tied to progression. Therefore, if you have to reset, you are forced to earn it all back and will be at a disadvantage. Having gone through all of the unlocks, it can be time-consuming to get it all back. So it may be best to plan on which platform you want it.
Although Battlefield 1 is almost a decade old now, it is still a great experience. It features a variety of unique weapons and maps to fight through. Plus, it came with the Operations mode, where you fight across several maps as one faction. So if you want to enjoy a different Battlefield game, you know about its crossplay features.
