Guide
Cross-play is different from shared progression
Cross-play lets players on different platforms meet. On consoles, matchmaking can be limited to the same platform, consoles only, or any platform. If your friends cannot find the same play environment, compare these preferences before changing other settings.
Guide
Moving between PC and console
The September 15 FAQ explicitly says shared progress is available between Steam and Gaijin.Net on PC only. Do not buy another platform version expecting a PC save to follow you to console. Use official account-linking instructions for eligible PC accounts; never share account credentials with a third-party guide.
