My Hero Ultra Rumble, based on the My Hero Academia anime, is a battle royale game that has got everyone talking. Released by Bandai Namco, you can play as your favourite characters from the anime and get into crazy battles, but one question keeps popping up: is it crossplay? Let’s find out.
What is My Hero Ultra Rumble?
My Hero Ultra Rumble is a team based battle royale where 24 players are divided into teams and face off in wild matches. The game is available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. You choose a character, each with their own Quirks, and team up with others to be the last team standing. This is familiar to battle royale fans but with an anime twist, fun gameplay and team play.
Crossplay: The Current State
Okay, now onto the big question — crossplay. Despite being available on multiple platforms, My Hero Ultra Rumble does not have crossplay. This means you can only play with others on the same platform. If you’re on PlayStation, you won’t be able to play with friends on PC or Xbox.
This might be a bummer for those who want a seamless gaming experience across devices, since many modern multiplayer games have crossplay as a standard feature. Although My Hero Ultra Rumble is on multiple devices, the gameplay is still contained within each platform’s ecosystem.
Why No Crossplay?
The lack of crossplay can be due to a few reasons. Technical constraints could be one, as making players from different platforms play together smoothly requires a lot of backend work. Licensing agreements and the game’s infrastructure could also be a problem, especially in maintaining a balanced and cheat free environment across different systems.
Crossplay also requires coordination between platform providers (like Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) which sometimes slows down or complicates the implementation of such features. Although there’s no official word on why crossplay isn’t available, these are possible reasons that might be the case for My Hero Ultra Rumble.
Why Crossplay Matters
Crossplay is now a standard feature for many multiplayer games. It means a bigger, united player base, faster matchmaking and a more robust gaming community. Players can team up with friends no matter what device they’re on which is especially important for games that require a team play like My Hero Ultra Rumble. Without crossplay, players might find it harder to find friends who are on different platforms and limit the game’s long term appeal.
Games like Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone and Apex Legends have set the bar high with their crossplay experiences and My Hero Ultra Rumble fans want the same. Crossplay would not only make the game more fun but also make it competitive with other battle royale games.
Will Crossplay Happen in the Future?
The good news is Bandai Namco hasn’t ruled out crossplay. There’s no official word on when or if it will be added but the developers might add it in future updates if the community demands it. Gamers are already asking for it and developers usually consider this feedback when planning new patches and updates.
For now, players will have to stick to their respective platforms if they want to play My Hero Ultra Rumble with friends.
Conclusion
My Hero Ultra Rumble is an exciting battle royale game with an anime twist but lack of crossplay is a major drawback. For now, players can only play with others on the same platform and there’s no concrete plans for crossplay. But with growing demand and other games setting the bar high, there’s always a chance the developers might surprise us with crossplay support in the future. Until then, fans will just have to wait and hope Bandai Namco makes My Hero Ultra Rumble a cross-platform game.
So if you want to play with friends, make sure you’re on the same platform. Only then can you experience My Hero Ultra Rumble together.
