Methods To Fix The Finals Crossplay Not Working
Here is what you can do if you find The Finals Crossplay not working for you:
Make Sure Crossplay Is Enabled
While this is an obvious thing, this option can be disabled in the settings without you realizing it. Here is how you can enable crossplay in The Finals:
- Go to Settings and go to the Gameplay tab.
- Under the Network section, you will see a toggle for Crossplay.
- Set Crossplay to “On“.
- Restart the game to make sure the settings have taken effect.
Make All Players Restart Their Game
Restarting The FInals can possibly fix the issue of you and your friends not being able to play crossplay together. For this, both you and any of your friends who play together will have to restart their games on their respective platforms. Once restarted, try joining and trying again.
Add Friend In-Game via Embark ID
All players have their own unique Embark ID (RandomWords#1234) that is assigned at random. You can see your own Embark ID on the top left of the Social screen where you invite and join parties.
So, if one of the players in your party is on the same platform as you, don’t add them through the platform friend list but rather add them via the Embark ID and invite them to your party like that. This can possibly fix The Finals crossplay not working issue.
Check If Servers Are Currently Down
If you are not able to join any matches, it may be possible that the servers are currently under maintenance or facing some sort of issue. You can check with the official The Finals Twiter account to find out if any ongoing issues are currently happening.
Alternatively, you can also ask around on social media like The Finals Reddit or Discord communities about the status of the server and whether anyone else is facing the same issue.
