One of you on PS5, one on PC

This is one of the most common mixed-platform setups, and the good news is it's well supported - PS5 and PC share crossplay in a lot of the biggest games. Every pick on this page has verified PS5-to-PC crossplay, confirmed against the developer's documentation and linked on each entry, so you won't buy a game and then discover you can't group up.

Our top pick is Helldivers 2- it's the definitive PS5-and-PC game, built from the ground up for four-player co-op with crossplay between exactly those two platforms. Diablo IV adds cross-progression on top of crossplay, and Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys, and Call of Duty round out the free-and-easy options. Overcooked covers the couch-party crowd with crossplay too.

If a third friend joins on Xbox or Switch, check whether your pick reaches them too - the Xbox + PS5 page and the main crossplay hub cover the wider combinations. For PS5-specific picks regardless of crossplay, see the PS5 hub.

One to skip

Overcooked! All You Can Eathas crossplay and works across PS5 and PC, but it's a couch-party game at heart - for a PS5-and-PC duo specifically wanting deep online co-op, Helldivers 2 or Diablo IV is a stronger fit. Pick Overcooked when you have a group and want chaos, not a two-player campaign.

The picks, in depth

Helldivers 2

PS5PCCrossplay: Yes - PS5 + PC crossplay

Best for: A squad split between PS5 and PC that wants chaotic 4-player co-op.

1-4 players online co-op · Co-op shooter

Four-player co-op with crossplay between PS5 and PC, so the classic 'I'm on PlayStation, they're on PC' problem just goes away. Friendly fire is always on, which is a feature. Not on Xbox or Switch, so it only helps PS5/PC groups.

Best for: A group across different consoles that wants a shared long-haul RPG.

1-4 co-op, online · Action RPG

Full crossplay and cross-progression, so your group can play together regardless of platform and even swap devices mid-season. Split-screen exists on console too. It is a live-service grind, so best for a crew that plays regularly, not a one-off.

Best for: A competitive group across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Frequently asked questions

What games are cross platform between PS5 and PC?+

Helldivers 2 is the standout PS5-and-PC game. Diablo IV, Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys, Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Minecraft, and Overcooked! All You Can Eat all support PS5-to-PC crossplay too.

Can PS5 and PC players play Helldivers 2 together?+

Yes - Helldivers 2 has crossplay between PS5 and PC, and it's built specifically for those two platforms (it isn't on Xbox or Switch). It's our top pick for a PS5-and-PC group.

Do I need PlayStation Plus for PS5 and PC crossplay?+
