Here’s a complete step-by-step to enabling crossplay inBG3so you can start playing with friends on other platforms:
After completing these steps, you and your friends have free rein to join each other’s lobbies, regardless of your platform. That way, if you’re a console player and want a PC friend to hop into your game, you can invite them without using mods or questionable third-party programs.
Similarly, you may create a lobby by repeating the first three steps above and selecting “Create” in the crossplay menu. You’ll be able to customize you settings before launching the server, letting your friends or random players join even if they’re on different devices.
