Bethesda's bold and experimental multiplayer take on Fallout, Fallout 76, launched in 2018 to extremely negative reviews, with many taking the game to task over its severe technical bugs and lack of engaging gameplay content, among other issues. Both of these pain points were addressed over time with performance-focused patches and big updates like the Wastelanders expansion, though notably, one feature fans have been asking for since the game's release still hasn't been added.
That feature is crossplay — the ability to play and party up with players on platforms other than your own. Though Fallout 76 supports crossplay between players that share a console family (Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, for example), Xbox and PlayStation players can't explore the Wasteland together, and folks on Steam can't play with console users, either.
