Marvel Rivals blocks console and PC from playing together. Specifically because console has such a huge advantage with how gimped their controls are, and with the fact that they enable literal developer sanctioned cheats to help people have fun. Then there are keyboard + mouse adapters and you get the aiming of a mouse with a sanctioned aimbot.
Actually this is wrong cross play is enabled by default and the game will even warn you that you'll have a harder time finding console only gamers to play with.
No, only quickplay, which is everything goes. Competetive is blocked crossplay.
Edit: I know because we tried it with people on xboxes and it didn't let them compete
Is there no controller support on PC? Or how does that work
I play with controller on PC but I don't play competitive but honestly... I don't want to lol. But they should let us play together in competitive. Guess I won't bother with it cause I like to save my wrists for actual important things on kbm otherwise I have carpal tunnel issues. It would be cool to see controllers on leaderboard with kbm. Gyro aiming is pretty good these days too.
From what I understand this is more about controllers being so bad for this kind of game that console developers regularly build in cheats like aim-bots officially, so why would it help if you connect a controller on your PC?
In Apex you get the same benefits on PC when you play with a controller.
I guess to be fair then they would need to allow an option to disable cross-play not between console and PC but between controller players on either on one side and keyboard/mouse players on the other.
Pc is Mk only. Console is controller. But the issue is people simulating controllers on console but actually using mouse and keyboard
