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

Pc is Mk only. Console is controller. But the issue is people simulating controllers on console but actually using mouse and keyboard

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.
