There are a plethora of reasons for why cross-platform isn't more prevalent in video games. For starters, it's a challenge for networks like Xbox Live and PSN to enforce their policies when a player is abusive to someone on a different network. Another reason why cross-platform isn't more common is that it might present an unfair advantage for players.

Someone playing with a keyboard and mouse might be better at a first-person shooter game than someone with a controller. Regardless of the reasons, companies like Microsoft are finding games where cross-platform works. It's mind-boggling as to why more games aren't cross-platform today. For now, here are 10 cross-platform games to play now.

10 Fortnite (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, Mobile)

Some would argue that playing Fortnite on PC is favorable because of the accuracy and sensitivity of a mouse. Players can aim more precisely, which could lead to better results. Xbox One is a console that has leveled the playing field by supporting a mouse and a keyboard.

The Arena mode is cross-platform, which is why a ton of players are complaining about the unfair advantage. However, it's possible to disable cross-platform play, limiting it to those who use Xbox Live, so Fortnite is progressive in that sense.

9 Rocket League  (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch)

Rocket League microtransactions

Driving high-velocity vehicles in Rocket League is unparalleled. Rocket League is an immersive vehicular soccer game that appears to target kids but is a highly addictive game for people of all ages. Who would think such a simple game could be so prominent? It takes elements from kart-racing games but integrates full-sized vehicles.

It would seem as if there are no unfair advantages in Rocket League cross-platform play. Unlike first-person shooters, a controller may even be advantageous. Go to the "Gameplay" tab in "Options" and be sure to check "Cross-Platform Play" for eye-opening vehicular soccer fun.

8 Sea of Thieves (PC, Xbox One)

This Microsoft exclusive is available on both PC and Xbox One. As a game that is part of the extensive Xbox Game Pass library, Sea of Thieves is highly accessible to players who have either platform.

Cross-platform play is easy enough as you merely need to jump into the game and cross-play will activate automatically. The PC version of Sea of Thieves allows players to use chat, whereas console players are limited to a few pre-written messages. The seamless play between PC and Xbox One makes Sea of Thieves an extraordinary cross-platform game.

7 Minecraft (PC, Xbox One, Switch, Mobile)

The second-best-selling game of all time is now one of the few games that are fully-accessible to cross-platform players. Cross-platform was added as part of the "Better Together" update. The Nintendo Switch was late to the party, but it's now a Minecraft cross-platform console.

Cross-platform on Minecraft is available on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. It is unknown at this time if PlayStation 4 will ever support cross-platform. Since Microsoft purchased Minecraft and developer Mojang as part of a multi-billion dollar deal, PlayStation may never get cross-platform support for Minecraft.

6 Ark: Survival Evolved (PC, Xbox One)

A significant number of Xbox One and PC games support cross-platform play. Although cross-platform play between consoles other than Microsoft's platforms is uncommon, gaming companies like Sony and Nintendo are continually adding cross-platform play wherever possible.

This is one cross-platform game that you shouldn't overlook. There is more than meets the eye to Ark: Survival Evolved's expansive world.

5 Gears 5 (PC, Xbox)

Gears 5 is the latest addition in one of Xbox's leading game franchises. Xbox is a gaming company that has incessantly pushed innovation. A significant amount of cross-platform games are Xbox and PC titles. Although PC and Xbox One are two different platforms, cross-platform has proved to be intuitive and seamless.

If you're one of the many people who prefer to play with consoles only, the main menu has an option to turn cross-platform off. Cross-platform in Gears 5 is possible in a variety of modes such as campaign co-op, ranked versus, and more.

4 PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PS4, Xbox One)

PlayStation 4 seems to be playing catch-up in the cross-platform area, yet they have a small number of cross-platform games that connect with the Xbox and Nintendo Switch. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users can play PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds with each other.

It seems only AAA titles are getting cross-platform while other games are not. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a battle royale game—and not the first from developer Tencent Games.

3 Smite (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch)

Smite is like a third-person game that bears similarities to both World of Warcraft and League of Legends. It is a very popular free-to-play game and is one of the most accessible for cross-platform players. People who own consoles such as the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch can take comfort in knowing they can play Smite with their friends.

Although Smite is free-to-play, it's online features require internet, and subscription services for consoles. Hopefully, PlayStation goes back to providing a free online service.

2 Paladins: Champions of the Realm (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch)

When we think of Paladins: Champions of the Realm, we get a sense of a free-to-play game that is similar to Overwatch. The design of the game is smart. Just because it's free-to-play doesn't mean that it isn't a polished game. Various development companies have found that the free-to-play model can be a profitable venture. The variety of characters found in Paladins: Champions of the Realm gives it colossal replayability.

Each class plays a different role in the game, which results in balanced and competitive matches. Paladins: Champions of the Realm is cross-play on most leading platforms.

1 Dauntless (PC, PS4, Xbox One)

The role-playing game Dauntless is yet another title to feature full support for cross-platform play. Although it is not available for Nintendo Switch, it is likely Nintendo's flagship console will join the cross-platform craze. Inspired by games from the Monster Hunter series and World of Warcraft, Dauntless had outstanding graphics. Its graphics can be attributed to its usage of the Unreal Engine 4.

According to ign.com, "the developers who worked on the game are from development companies like Blizzard Entertainment, BioWare, and Capcom.
