We are far from seeing all games with cross-compatibility across the board. However, there are now quite a few Nintendo Switch titles that are playable between Switch, other consoles, mobile, and PC. You might also find some among our best Nintendo Switch games list. Let's take a brief look at which titles currently support cross-platform play.
Featured favorite
Minecraft
Minecraft may not have been the first sandbox building game, but it's certainly the best known. While many versions of Minecraft now exist, including the dungeon crawler Minecraft Dungeons, the Bedrock Edition available for the Switch supports crossplay between PC Xbox One, PS4, iOS, and Android, so whatever platform your friends are playing on, as long as they have the Bedrock Edition, you can build together.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition
Staff Pick
Available for Switch, PS4, iOS, and Android, this remastered edition of the 2003 GameCube hit did more than just update the graphics and audio. The team at Square Enix nearly doubled the content and reformatted the game from a couch co-op into an online multiplayer, crossplay experience. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles runs smoothly on each platform and even supports cross saving. Although this is the best multiplayer Final Fantasy around, there is a free lite version available if you have any doubts.

It's soccer but with cars!
Rocket League
One of the most significant titles to support cross-platform play is Rocket League. You can now pilot your rocket-powered battle car in fast-paced soccer matches with friends who play the game on both PC, Xbox One, and PS4. If you're playing Rocket League on Switch, you are no longer on a gaming island.
A solid racing game
Mantis Burn Racing
Let's jump from one car-based game to another. Mantis Burn Racing is a top-down racing game with multiple vehicle classes and many different racing events. You can even customize your car as your progress. If you are looking for a modern-day Super Sprint version to cross-play with friends on Xbox or PC, you should check this title out.
Check and mate
Chess Ultra
It may not be the most heart-pounding title available for cross-play on the switch, but if you like playing chess digitally, then Chess Ultra is a great option for Switch owners. With crossplay, you can test your chess skills against other players on PC and Xbox One.
Don't tilt the machine!
Pinball FX 3
I am a huge pinball fan, but most of my flipping and nudging happens in the real world. For pinball fans who don't have a lot of machines in their general vicinity, Pinball FX 3 is a great option. They have a large library of various pinball tables based on popular franchises. You can also get a game going with your friends who play on PC or Xbox. The best part is that it's free to download.
Battle Royale with 99 of your closest friends
Fortnite
From Epic Games, Fortnite is currently available on the Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Android.

Featuring crossovers with Marvel, Stranger Things, Star Wars, and more, every season brings something new to Fortnite.

A sci-fi fantasy first person shooter
Paladins
If the idea of mixing interstellar bounty hunters, mech-riding goblins, and ancient deities appeals to you, Paladins might just be the crossplay compatible game you're looking for. This first-person shooter (and magic blasting and all other sci-fi fantasy attacks) supports crossplay from the Switch with Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Even better, Paladins is free to play.
Which cross-platform Switch games will you be playing?
There are now tons of games you can play with your friends on Xbox, PlayStation, mobile, and PC, a far cry from the handful of crossplay games that used to be available on the Switch. You may need a microSD card to hold all of them! My absolute favorite is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Remastered Edition. I've lost count of the number of hours playing with my kids, friends, and strangers alike. The folks at Square Enix really knocked it out of the park.
We've also had a lot of fun with Minecraft and being able to co-op across all the different platforms has made it much easier to invite friends to join in. There's a reason this game has continued to be a huge commercial success for the last decade. While there are plenty of battle royale games on the list, I've found Spellbreak to be especially innovative and well balanced. The various combinations of elemental gauntlets support most any playstyle, and it's just so pretty.
