The Tekken fighting game franchise will feature crossplay for the first time in history.

You might be wondering if Tekken 8 has a cross platform feature, which is something Tekken has never implemented before. So is Tekken 8 crossplay across PC, Xbox, and PS5? We have you covered in this article.

Does Tekken 8 have cross platform?

Yes, Tekken 8 has crossplay. The game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, revealed this in April 2023. The introduction of this feature in Tekken 8 means that players gaming using PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC can all play with or against each other.

Tekken 7 did not have the crossplay option, and neither do previous Tekken iterations, so this is a revolutionary addition. You can now game with your friends regardless of your gaming platforms.

How to enable or disable crossplay in Tekken 8

  1. Launch Tekken 8
  2. Go into the "Settings" option
  3. Scroll down to the "Cross-Platform Play" option
  4. Select "Cross-Platform Play On" or "Cross-Platform Play Off"
  5. Confirm your choice

When you first start the game, Tekken 8 will ask you if you want to enable crossplay. Enabling crossplay means you can participate in matches against players on other platforms. If you are playing on PC, you might get matched up against console players and vice versa.
