FragPunk introduces a unique twist on the first-person hero shooter genre, allowing teams to utilize specially designed cards at the start of each round to alter the rules and boost their chances for victory. Imagine engaging in battle with opponents featuring oversized heads—it’s as quirky as it sounds.
The game has garnered attention from the PC gaming community, and with its upcoming console debut, players are keenly interested in the potential for crossplay compatibility. Here’s everything you need to know regarding FragPunk’s crossplay and cross-progression options.
Will FragPunk Support Crossplay?
FragPunk will indeed implement crossplay when it becomes available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on April 29, as confirmed by Bad Guitar Studio. This feature will enable console gamers to connect and compete with their friends playing the PC version, enhancing the multiplayer experience.
The implementation of crossplay is particularly beneficial as it broadens the player base, reducing the likelihood of facing lobbies filled with bots. In today’s gaming landscape, many players have friends who may be on different platforms, and crossplay fosters community and longevity for live service titles like this.
With the crossplay feature, console gamers will enter matches alongside PC users, often resulting in gameplay against those utilizing mouse and keyboard setups. To level the playing field, FragPunk will introduce “enhanced aim assist” for console players, providing additional support to ensure competitiveness against the precision typical of keyboard users.
It remains unclear if players will have the option to disable crossplay, particularly within ranked scenarios. However, it’s reasonable to expect some form of control in the settings menu. Past collaborations with NetEase, associated with Bad Guitar Studio, indicate successful implementations of crossplay in titles like Marvel Rivals—although they have opted to disable this feature in ranked matches.
Is There Cross-Progression in FragPunk?
Rest easy regarding your progress across multiple platforms—FragPunk will support cross-progression. This feature allows players to log into any platform and continue enjoying their achievements, rewards, and battle pass progress without interruption. This is particularly useful for players who wish to transition between systems without losing their in-game investments.
However, it is likely that a player’s competitive rank will remain tied to the platform on which it was earned. For instance, achieving a Diamond rank on PC may necessitate starting anew if a player transitions to a console.
Expect additional updates regarding FragPunk’s crossplay and cross-progression features as the console launch date approaches on April 29. We will provide updates as new information is released.
