Is Call of Duty: Vanguard multiplatform / crossplay?

Since 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, crossplay and cross progression have been standard in the Call of Duty franchise. This continued in Treyarch's 2020 Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which was the first title in the series to be playable on both next-generation and next-generation platforms. Sledgehammer Games has yet to release a fully cross-platform Call of Duty title, but Call of Duty: Vanguard will be a new step for the developer.

Call of Duty: Vanguard will in fact be a cross-platform game, playable on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X / S and even PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Vanguard will also be cross-generational, so players can party no matter what platform or console generation they're on. All of this serves the broader ecosystem of the Call of Duty franchise, which will continue across Modern Warfare, Black Ops Cold War, Vanguard, and most importantly Battle Royale Warzone.

Progress will not only carry over between platforms, but also across all of your games - similar to how Black Ops Cold War has integrated experience and ranks, any progress you make on any of the four aforementioned games will also be honored in the other games. Expect the lobbies to be filled with players from every platform, whether they are on controllers or mouse and keyboard.
