In short, yes, CoD Vanguard does support cross-platform play. The Call of Duty franchise has come a long way since its strictly same-generation only party gameplay.

Thankfully, following in the steps of Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War before it, Vanguard allows players to squad up no matter what platform they choose to do battle. Whether you’re playing on Xbox Series S|X, PC, or PlayStation 5, it is very easy to get into a game together.

While the most obvious avenue is to become friends with your allies via the same system (PSN friend request, Xbox live, etc), Activision has made the process far more accessible with the integration of Activision accounts.

To get the necessary details to be able to make friends via Activision’s useful service:

  1. You’ll need to head to the ‘Options‘ menu.
  2. Go over to ‘Account.’
  3. Ensure that crossplay is enabled.
  4. From here you can view your hashtagged account username, which your friends will be able to input in-game and vice versa.

This stretches across all platforms and will make it easier to create parties, where you can chat using the in-game chat functionality.
