Which platforms can play together?
| Platform combination | Multiplayer |
|---|---|
| PS4 ↔ PS5 | Supported |
| Xbox One ↔ Xbox Series X/S ↔ Windows 10/11 Store version | Supported |
| Nintendo Switch ↔ Steam, PlayStation, Xbox or Windows Store | Not supported |
| Steam ↔ Windows Store version | Not supported |
| PlayStation ↔ Xbox/Windows family | Not supported |
The two PC storefront versions are different multiplayer ecosystems. Check the store version your friends own before buying a copy to join them.
Can you transfer your save?
Save support is separate from multiplayer support. The PlayStation versions provide a PS4-to-PS5 save transfer, while Xbox Play Anywhere supports shared progress between its Xbox and Windows versions.
These exceptions do not allow Switch-to-Steam transfers or universal, two-way save sharing across all versions.
Why a Lobby ID does not help
A Lobby ID locates a room within a compatible platform ecosystem. It does not connect separate ecosystems. Check the table before troubleshooting the room code.
These are Monster Hunter Rise platform combinations; crossplay features from other Monster Hunter games do not apply here.
