No, Red Dead Redemption 2 does not support crossplay.
No, Red Dead Redemption 2 does not support crossplay at this time. Players are limited to playing within their own platform's ecosystem. Cross-progression is not supported, so your saves stay tied to the platform you play on.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on the following platforms:
| Feature | Supported | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Crossplay | No | Players are limited to their own platform. |
| Cross-Progression | No | Saves and unlocks stay tied to each platform. |
| Split Screen / Couch Co-op | No | Online multiplayer only — no shared-screen play. |
No — Red Dead Redemption 2 does not support cross-progression. Saves and unlocks stay tied to the platform where you earned them.
No. Your Red Dead Online rank, money and unlocks are tied to the platform where you earned them, and there is no migration tool — not even between console generations. PC is excluded entirely.
No — Red Dead Redemption 2 does not offer split screen or couch co-op. To play together, each player needs their own system running the game.
No. PC, PlayStation and Xbox players cannot play Red Dead Online together — each platform is its own separate pool. The only cross-platform element is cross-generation compatibility: PS5 plays through the PS4 build via backward compatibility, sharing servers with PS4, and Xbox Series X|S shares servers with Xbox One.
Yes. The Story Mode campaign is a fully single-player, offline experience. Red Dead Online requires an internet connection, but Story Mode does not.
Unlikely. Rockstar wound down major Red Dead Online content updates in late 2022 to focus on Grand Theft Auto VI, so a crossplay backend is not expected.
No. PC, PlayStation and Xbox are each separate — the only overlap is cross-generation play within a platform family (PS4 with PS5, Xbox One with Xbox Series X|S).
No. Progress stays on the platform you earned it on, with no transfer tool available, and PC is excluded even from cross-gen migration.
Yes. PS5 runs the game via backward compatibility and shares the same server pool as PS4.
No. Story Mode is a single-player, offline campaign; only Red Dead Online is multiplayer.

Sea of Thieves has full crossplay across PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), Xbox and — since April 2024 — PlayStation 5, all tied to a Microsoft account. Crews run up to four (six on a Galleon), and console players can switch on a controller-only matchmaking preference to avoid PC mouse-and-keyboard opponents. It's online-only, with a solo-friendly Safer Seas mode and no split-screen.
