However, XDefiant also gives you the option to disable crossplay if you want matchmaking to only include players on the same platform as you. Here's how you can disable crossplay on each platform:

  • Select the "Matchmaking & Account" tab
  • On "Crossplay", change the setting to "Off".

Yes, XDefiant has cross-progression, meaning you can carry over save progress between platforms - letting you carry over your Battle Pass, Boosters, Cosmetics, Factions unlocked, and XCoins. However, keep in mind that cross-progression is only available for those logged into a Ubisoft account across those connected platforms.
