WWE 2K24 is one of the most highly anticipated wrestling video games releasing later this year. With the introduction of new features and enhancements to the gameplay, fans are eager to dive into the wrestling action. However, one question keeps popping up, 'is WWE 2K24 cross-platform?'. This article will talk about that matter and answer your question.
Is WWE 2K24 Cross-Platform?
Currently, 2K Games has not officially confirmed cross-platform play for WWE 2K24. Yet, relying on details from WWE 2K23 and similar 2K sports games such as NBA 2K, we can make a prediction.
WWE 2K23 did not have any cross-platform play support. The game only allowed players on the same platform to matchmake together. For example, two PlayStation 5 players could play each other but not a PlayStation and Xbox player.
However, NBA 2K23 did introduce limited crossplay between the same console generations. PS5 players could match with other PS5 players, and Xbox Series X/S players could match together. But there was no crossplay between PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
Considering this pattern, it's possible that WWE 2K24 will feature restricted cross-generation play, possibly between PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. However, complete crossplay across all platforms might not be in the cards.

Cross-Progression Confirmed
While cross-platform play is still up in the air, WWE 2K24 will have cross-progression. Players can transfer their progress and unlocks between the same console families.
- For example, you can transfer your MyFaction progress from PS4 to PS5.
- Your Xbox One progress will transfer to Xbox Series X/S.
- But there is no cross-progression between PlayStation and Xbox.

Potential for Future Cross-Platform Play
If crossplay isn't in WWE 2K24, it could still come in the future. 2K Games now has the ability to enable crossplay thanks to long-term investments. They might begin by introducing limited crossplay between different console generations, similar to what we've seen in NBA 2K, and then possibly expand on it in the future.
Many popular multiplayer games now have full cross-platform play, including Fortnite, Rocket League, Call of Duty, and Apex Legends. As players' expectations change, WWE 2K24 might adapt in future updates. . But complete and unrestricted crossplay doesn't seem to be a feature available when WWE 2K24 is first released, based on the information we have.

Summary
- WWE 2K24 cross-platform play between PlayStation and Xbox unconfirmed
- Likely limited cross-generation play between PS5 & Xbox Series X/S
- Cross-progression confirmed between same console families
- Potential for expanded crossplay in future WWE 2K games
The bottom line - don't expect to play with all your friends on different consoles at WWE 2K24's launch. But limited cross-generation play will help expand the player pool and aid matchmaking times. As crossplay becomes an increasingly standard feature in multiplayer games, it could still come to the WWE 2K series down the road.
