When the Emperor calls on you to face down the endless onslaught of Tyranid forces, he doesn’t expect you to go alone. Sure, you are a nearly unkillable Space Marine, but even you will need backup on this mission in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. The campaign isn’t all that long, though it’s more than bloody enough to be satisfying. And replaying missions with friends or jumping into the Operations mode keeps the violence coming. If you fancy yourself a particularly deadly marine, you can even go into PvP.

Clearly, this game was not meant to be played alone, especially not if you want all the Trophies and Achievements — but does it make the list of all cross-platform games?

Is Space Marine 2 cross-platform?

Space Marine 2 is a strange case in which the answer is yes and no depending on what you’re talking about. For crossplay, the game only supports full cross-platform support for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in the co-op modes. That would be either the campaign or Operations mode. On the other hand, consoles and PC are divided for the PvP modes. Here, PC players are sectioned off while PlayStation and Xbox players can still battle it out on an even playing field.

This is similar to the cross-platform setup for Fallout 76 and Ark: Survival Evolvedwhich have partial cross-platform support.

Thankfully, cross-progression is a much simpler matter. Once you set up your Prism Ray Online Services account before playing, you can access this same account on any platform to move your save wherever you go. This will require you to own a copy of the game on multiple platforms to take advantage of it, but the feature is there if you need it.

Forza Horizon 6 is shaping up to be a new visual showcase, but its PC requirements tell a different story.

Despite the next-gen graphics, the game sticks to relatively approachable specs, especially for modern AAA games. This is a welcome surprise in a time when new titles often feel like they demand a full system upgrade.

DualSene Controller

Sony wants to use your phone as a secondary input for a PlayStation controller, and it might actually change how we play games. 

Gaming controllers have come a long way, but let’s be honest, they haven’t changed that much at all. Sure, we got haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and TMR sensors, but the core design and gameplay have remained the same for decades. Sony might be about to change that, and the solution is your phone.

CRKD ATOM+ Controllers

Gaming on the go has always come with a compromise. You either carry a full-sized controller and accept the bulk, use a compromised controller that lacks features, or use your phone’s touchscreen and accept the frustration. The CRKD ATOM+ aims to address that problem.

The ATOM+ is a palm-sized Bluetooth controller that works across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch 1, PC, mobile devices, tablets, and select Smart TVs. At 90mm x 48mm, it’s small enough to fit even in your pocket, comes with an included wrist strap, and costs only $29.99.
