Today, I wanted to check out if PGA 2K23 has that cross-platform thing going on. You know, where you can play with your buddies even if they’re on a different console or PC. I love playing games online, especially with friends, so this was kind of a big deal for me.
So, first off, I fired up my old gaming PC. I hadn’t really touched it in a while, but it’s still got some decent specs. I bought PGA 2K23 on Steam a while back and it was just sitting there in my library. After dusting off the PC, I launched the game and it took ages to update. While waiting, I did some digging online. Apparently, there was an update in February 2023 that added crossplay to the game. That was good news!
Once the game was all set, I decided to test this crossplay feature myself. I have a friend who plays on Xbox Series X, which is pretty cool, so I hit him up. He was in, but first, we made sure we were both on the latest version of the game. That’s important or it won’t work right.
Getting into the Game
- Launching the game: First step, we both launched PGA 2K23.
- Online mode: I went into the online mode menu to start trying things out.
- Creating a private match: We figured the easiest way to test this was to create a private match. I made a lobby and sent him an invite.
Now, here’s where it got interesting. He got my invite, but it took a couple of tries for him to join. We messed around with the settings a bit, made sure we were friends on the platform and in the game, and finally, he was in! We picked a course, and honestly, it was pretty seamless after that. The game ran smoothly, no lag or anything weird, even though we were on different platforms.
We played a full round, and it was a blast. The fact that we could play together even though I was on PC and he was on Xbox was awesome. We talked about how cool it was that they finally added this feature. We used to have this issue with other games, where we couldn’t play together just because of the different systems.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, PGA 2K23 does have cross-platform play, and it works pretty well. It’s a great way to play with friends no matter what system they’re using. If you’re into golf games and want to play with your buddies across different platforms, PGA 2K23 has got you covered. Just make sure you’re updated to the latest version and you should be good to go. Happy gaming!
