As Blood Bowl 3 continues into its exciting Season 5, players are now enjoying the benefits of the recently introduced cross play feature. This update enhances matchmaking by pooling a larger player base, resulting in faster queue times and more balanced games. This season promises to bring a more connected and enjoyable gaming experience to Blood Bowl 3.
To help you get started, here are some frequently asked questions about cross play:
Can I log in with the same account on different platforms?
No, Blood Bowl 3 does not support cross-progression. Each account is bound to a single platform, so you cannot log in with the same account on different platforms.
How can I enable cross play for leagues created before the cross play feature release?
You will need to create a new league. Existing leagues cannot be retroactively configured for cross play.
Does the in-game shop sell items for the same prices across all platforms?
Yes, the in-game shop offers items at the same prices across all platforms, ensuring a consistent purchasing experience for all players.
Are there any differences in gameplay when playing cross play matches?
No, the game remains consistent across all platforms. Players will experience the same gameplay regardless of the platform they are using.
Are there any advantages or disadvantages based on your platform?
No, the game is designed to be fair for everyone, ensuring that no platform has any inherent advantage or disadvantage.
How does it impact Admin Tools?
Currently, the only visible difference is that you no longer need to choose your platform when connecting to the admin tools since they are now merged.
Within the admin tools, some leagues and competitions are cross-play enabled. However, if you invite players who have cross-play disabled, the invitations will still work, but those players won’t see any cross-play content on their side.
Additionally, this update allows you to invite coaches from different platforms to your leagues and competitions. This means you can manage leagues across platforms, so if a console gamer grants a PC gamer admin rights, the PC gamer can still administer the league effectively.
How does it impact the ladder?
Cross-play allows everyone to compete in the same ladder, which results in shorter queue times, more competitions, and a more accurate ranking system since players are competing against a broader pool of opponents.
Will the matchmaking try to match me with someone on the same platform?
No, the matchmaking system does not prioritize matching players based on their platform.
Can I disable cross play for matchmaking?
Cross play can only be disabled on consoles. Moreover, please note that cross-play must be enabled to participate in the official ladder competition.
How can I report issues or provide feedback about cross play?
We always welcome feedback and issue reports regarding cross-play. You can share your thoughts and concerns with our Support Team.
