Borderlands 3, the wildly popular looter shooter, has made a significant step towards a truly unified experience by implementing full cross-platform support. This means that players can now team up with friends regardless of their chosen platform, whether it be PlayStation, Xbox, or PC (via Steam or Epic Games). This exciting feature allows for a more inclusive and collaborative gameplay experience, bringing together friends from different gaming ecosystems.
While the ability to play together across platforms is a welcome addition, cross-progression – the ability to transfer your character and progress between platforms – is a bit more complex. Currently, character transfer is only possible between Steam and Epic Games accounts. Unfortunately, moving your character from a console to another platform, or vice versa, is not yet supported.
Despite this limitation, you can still move your valuable loot between different platforms, making the process of recreating your character on a new platform slightly easier. The game’s trading system allows you to send all your gear to a new account on a different platform. This means that while you’ll have to level up your character and complete quests again, at least you won’t be starting completely from scratch.
Borderlands 3’s commitment to cross-platform play is a significant step forward for the franchise, allowing players to connect and share the experience regardless of their preferred platform. However, the lack of full character transfer across all platforms may be a limiting factor for some players, especially those looking to switch platforms entirely. While the future of cross-progression remains uncertain, the game’s current cross-platform functionality provides a more inclusive and accessible gameplay experience for Borderlands 3 enthusiasts.
