The promised Paladins update is finally here and it brings with it two much requested features. Those are cross-play between Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC, and also cross-progression if you play between consoles. There is much more included in the latest patch and you can read all about the changes on the official Paladins site.
CROSS-PLAY
- Players from PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch will be part of the same matchmaking pool in Quickplay
- Players may opt-out of cross-play, however, you will find higher quality matches more quickly with cross-play matchmaking enabled
- Ranked will match-make players based upon their input method
- You can set your input method and preferences in Settings
- Players will now have a fully functionally cross-platform friends list
- We are technically ready to support cross-play on other platforms as the opportunity arises
CROSS-PROGRESSION
- PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch players will be able to progress their linked account and keep their owned items across all platforms
- We are technically ready to support cross-progression on other platforms as the opportunity arises
Cross-progression is super important! Would made it a super easy choice to buy games you already own on PC/Consoles for Switch as well. It wouldn’t just be a handheld version, it would be a extended version of what you’re already playing.
Sounds good, but I have more progression on PC, but I bought the pack for all heroes on Switch and have some progress there too.
So can I infuse these accounts and how it would decide what data to keep and what overwrite.
Great. I’ve always wanted games to come with Cross-Play & Cross-Progression. These will really help make Paladins active. Anyway, how about SMITE?
