Is Marvel Rivals crossplay?
Yes, Marvel Rivals has crossplay in its casual game modes for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Xbox Series X|S. However, not all of these platforms are put into one player pool when it comes to ranked matches.

Does Marvel Rivals have cross-progression?
In terms of a cross-progression feature, Marvel Rivals has this as well. However, there are a few caveats. You can sign in on different platforms and use the same character. The
supported platforms are currently PC via Epic, Steam, and Loading Bay plus PlayStation, and Xbox. However, if you have characters on multiple accounts, then you must choose a primary character.
“Unselected characters are stored and can be restored if you change your primary character after the cooldown,” according to NetEase Games. “Or if you unlink the account. Data between characters is not merged.”
It’s also worth noting that ranked progress, leaderboard standings, and battle data are tracked separately for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It’s the same for platform-exclusive skins.
“Even though you have just one character, your rank and leaderboard are independent on each platform,” NetEase Games explained. “For instance, your PlayStation rank and standing will not carry over to your PC rank and standing.”
