Monster hunting… with friends!
Omega Force’s EA-publishedMonster Huntercompetitor,Wild Hearts, has arrived. LikeMonster Hunter, the game comes with a fairly heavy focus on multiplayer. Given that it’s launching on PlayStation 5, current-gen Xbox consoles, and PC, it’s fair to ask whether or not the game will have cross-play at launch.
The good news is, perEA’s preorder FAQ,Wild Heartshas full cross-platform compatibility. Players on any platform can play with their friends across the vast console/PC divide without issue.
On PC, too!
Wild Heartsis launching on a handful of different PC launchers to accompany its array of console releases. Don’t worry — cross-play will work between different launchers, too. That means you may buy the game on Steam, Origin, or the Epic Games Store without sweating about where your friends pick it up. You’ll be able to play the game across different launchers and different platforms. As EA puts it, “You’ll be able to seamlessly join two friends on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Origin, Steam, and Epic Games Store) to hunt down Kemono.”
It’s worth noting thatWild Heartswillnotfeature cross-saves, so if you’re thinking about jumping between platforms, you’re out of luck. If you overwhelmingly favor one platform over another, as always, it’ll be worthwhile to consider buying the game there. If you’re on PC, you can also accessWild Heartsthrough EA Play Pro, the PC-exclusive premium tier for EA Play. Once you’re locked into your platform of choice, though, you’ll be able to play with anyone else on any other console or computer. Happy hunting!
