Hey, you know that game called Age of Empires IV? Oh, it’s a big one, I tell ya! This one’s about building towns, fighting battles, and all that fancy stuff. Now, let me tell ya, they’ve gone and done something special with it. They got this new thing called crossplay. Oh yes, crossplay! Fancy word, huh? What it means is, if you play on Xbox, whether it’s the Series X|S or the old Xbox One, or even if you’re on a PC, you can play together. Ain’t that somethin’?
Now, lemme explain it like this: say you bought the game on Steam, or maybe through the Microsoft Store. Doesn’t matter! You and your pals can still play together, no matter where y’all got it. Crossplay just makes things so much easier, don’t it? Before, folks used to be stuck playing only with others who had the same device. Not anymore! You got an Xbox? Great! Your friend got a PC? Even better! Jump into a ranked match, or maybe some good ol’ fashioned team play. Everyone’s invited.

Speaking of playing together, you ain’t gotta worry ’bout being left out. With this crossplay thing, it doesn’t matter what kind of controller you’re using. Got a mouse and keyboard? That’s fine. Using one of them Xbox controllers? Well, that’s just as good too. They’ve made sure you can play however you like. Don’t that sound real nice?
Season 7 bringing more changes
Now, I hear they’re launching a new season too. Season 7 they’re calling it. This season comes with all the bells and whistles, and of course, crossplay is the big one. I reckon a lot of folks been waiting on that. You know how folks are, always wanting something new. Well, this here is the new thing. The update ain’t just about crossplay, though. They’ve added a whole bunch of other stuff, like that Team Ranked mode. If you like competing with friends or strangers, oh boy, you’re in for a treat.
Now, what’s real nice is that no matter where you bought the game, crossplay works for all of ‘em. Got the game from Xbox Game Pass? Good! Maybe you bought it on Steam? Well, good too! There ain’t no stopping ya now. It’s like opening the gates wide open for everyone to join in. You just get in there and have a blast with whoever you want, whenever you want. No need to be worrying about what platform you’re on.
Multiplayer modes and crossplay benefits
- You can play multiplayer with friends across Xbox and PC. No problem at all.
- It doesn’t matter if they’re using a controller or a mouse, y’all can still team up.
- Ranked modes are there for those who want to see how good they really are.
- The new updates bring more than just crossplay – they’re adding new features too.
So, if you’re like me and you love playing with folks from all over, this crossplay thing is a godsend. You don’t gotta worry about having the right console or system anymore. Age of Empires IV just makes it easy for everyone to come together. Whether you’re into them big strategy games or just like foolin’ around with friends, this crossplay feature makes everything a whole lot better.
And don’t think they’re done just yet. I bet there’s more updates comin’ down the road. They always find ways to keep folks excited, don’t they? So if you ain’t tried Age of Empires IV with your pals yet, now’s the time. Go on, gather your friends, doesn’t matter where they’re playin’. Crossplay’s got you covered!
