Top Crossplay Games on Xbox Game Pass

Honestly, I’m not even sure where to begin with this whole crossplay gaming scene. It feels like one of those bus rides where you have no idea which stop you’re getting off at. Crossplay isn’t exactly the norm yet, but it’s definitely gaining traction. Like, imagine everyone’s on a different console and suddenly, wow, we can all play together. Kind of like a big, happy gaming family reunion—assuming your family likes to throw bananas at each other over Mario Kart.

And then there’s Xbox Game Pass. It’s like this magical key to a freaking universe of games. You pay your dues and bam, here’s a library that might put your local bookstore to shame. It’s not overhyped, either; they sneak in some crossplay titles without making a big fuss about it. And I’m just sitting here wondering, “Why isn’t this the headline?”

July 3, 2025 rolled by and, you guessed it, a shiny new crossplay game was dropped into the Game Pass lineup. It’s that love-hate moment when a game—one that isn’t perfect, mind you—becomes the talk of the town because who doesn’t want to be part of the ‘in’ crowd, right? And whenever they get Rematch to work with crossplay, that’s going to be something to watch. I think. My crystal ball’s a tad fuzzy on the details.

FBC: Firebreak—ah yes, another title aiming to break barriers but ends up needing a little more oomph. Remedy’s not known for tossing out multiplayer games like candy at a parade, but here we are. It hit the big time on Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus, like walking into a party and hoping not to spill your drink all over someone important. It wasn’t exactly love at first play, but hey, it has its moments.

Speaking of surprises, have you ever tried cramming 33 people into a game? 33 Immortals does this and, surprisingly, doesn’t entirely implode. The drama unfolds on a big ol’ map where strategy is your friend and fellow players your winding path to victory, or at least fun. Remember, 33 doesn’t actually mean you’ll always find those 32 partners in crime.

Then there’s Borderlands 3, the wacky world of loot where you’re either hauling away gold or wondering if it’s time for a different kind of adventure. Game Pass flaunts this one in all its Ultimate Edition glory, which means loads of DLC goodness. Players who revel in the chaos can delve into classes, skills, and raids until they’ve had their fill.

Ah, sports. Madden NFL 25 shakes hands across platforms, letting football fans play from the luxury of their favorite console. Some sports games embrace crossplay like a long-lost friend, others—not so much. Let’s just be thankful Madden’s on board.

Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 tries to recover from the growing pains of its predecessors. No one expected it to flop—money doesn’t just throw itself away, right?—but the trick is catching the eye of those weary players who’ve seen it all. Bringing it to Game Pass was a bold move, trying to reclaim old followers who just might miss the adrenaline of multiplayer madness.

Oh, and don’t forget the quirky antics of Moving Out 2. Turning the headache of moving day into a game? Genius. Tossing reality aside, it employs dimension-spanning puzzles to keep you on your toes. Crossplay’s there to save the day, letting friends band together against the multiverse.

And then there’s Diablo 4—the lovechild of chaos and camaraderie. Co-op is where it shines, despite a few bumps along the way. The grind’s part of it, but with friends? It’s more a journey than a chore. I think. I still have nightmares about some of those dungeons.

Mortal Kombat 11—back when blood and glory were bywords, it’s still thrilling despite its age. Well, okay, it’s older than some, but this fighter barely flinches despite MK1’s flashy entrance. Crossplay has its quirks, but it lives on in epic duels.

And finally, Sea of Thieves. From struggling to finding its sea legs, it’s cultivated a loyal crew of pirates. Sure, sailing the seas solo is a lonely life, but if you’re not afraid of a little PvP action (beware keyboard warriors!), crossplay lets you pillage with a merry band from different shores.

Some other racer tried to zip by—F1 24—but it’s got its quirks too. Codemasters keeps tweaking it and, you know, maybe it’s not perfect. Multiplayer sometimes feels like you’re in the middle of rush hour, but hey, it’s got crossplay.

And there you have it. A random, quirky take on the gaming world where crossplay is the unsung hero. Maybe it’s not polished or perfect, but it’s got heart. And isn’t that what really matters?
