Is PUBG Crossplay Or Cross Platform?

The simple answer is yes, and accessing the PUBG crossplay isn't too difficult either. However, it's only available for certain platforms, and there is no way for player's from every form of the game to play together currently. Cross-platform multiplayer can be accessed on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, allowing players from both platforms to team up and fight against each other.

This goes the same for the mobile version, which allows iOS and Android users to play cross-platform with each other. The console and mobile versions do not intersect though, and finally, the PC version has no crossplay support at all, only allowing other PC users to play together. This is because the console versions, mobile versions, and PC edition are all on separate servers, restricting any potential crossplay for the foreseeable future.

Although this might seem annoying or limiting to some players, it seems the communities are mostly fine with the current way of things. It's well known that in shooters, the mouse and keyboard offers an advantage to players, due to snappier, smoother aim. Consoles on the other hand, require some form of aim assist to make aiming actually feasible on controllers, and usually when crossplay between PC and console users is enabled - these issues come to the forefront rather quickly.
