Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt is a free-to-play battle royale game developed and published by Sharkmob. It is based on the tabletop role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade, and is part of the larger World of Darkness series. An early-access version was released for Microsoft Windows on September 7, 2021. Bloodhunt is one of the more unique battle royale games that have emerged in this oversaturated market in the last couple of years. It combines the famous Vampire: The Masquerade setting with a battle royale genre. Being set to launch on both the PS5 and PC, developers Sharkmob has recently shared details about crossplay and cross-progression in Bloodhunt. Here is how cross-platform work in Bloodhunt.
Bloodhunt Crossplay Between PS5 and PC
If you are a fan of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodhunt, then there is good news for you. Let us tell you that it will get cross-platform support from the beginning. The game was initially released only on PC via Steam but was later developed for the PS5 as well. The community had some concerns about it mostly in regard to potentially splitting the player base. Well, you don’t need to worry about that anymore. You will be able to play seamlessly with players from the other platform.
But, one thing that I do not like at all is that it has some limitations. Most players love cross-platform support because they want to team up with friends who game on other platforms. That won’t be possible here. In the Elysium, which is the game’s lobby, you will be able to group up only with players from the same platform as yours. The cross-play part kicks in only after you enter the Prague map.
This means that crossplay is enabled for random matchmaking, but not when you want to join the lobby with your friends. It's unfortunate, but hopefully, the devs will change in the future.
Bloodhunt Cross-progression Between PS5 and PC
If we talk about cross-progression, Bloodhunt does not support it.Being a free-to-play game, you can use a single Sharkmob account on both PC and the PS5. But, all your rewards, unlocks, purchased cosmetics, and other content will be tracked separately for each platform. Despite using a single account, the game sees your PC and PS5 progress as two separate things. This is likely because Sony wants to protect its platform and microtransactions on it.
Now let's talk about PlayStation security, so there is one important thing you need to know, and that is that you can always turn off crossplay on PS5 if you want. Disabling crossplay is available in the options menu on your PS5. Though, this could result in slower matchmaking times, due to a smaller pool of players.
