Monster Hunter Rise is an action role-playing game that lets you hunt down various monsters in a vast and diverse open world. You can also play with your friends online, and team up with up to three other players to take on challenging quests and missions.
However, you might be wondering if Monster Hunter Rise supports cross platform play, meaning that you can play with your friends on different devices, such as PC, Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch. In this article, we will answer this question and explain how to play with friends on different devices.
Is Monster Hunter Rise Cross Platform?
The short answer is yes, but only partially. Monster Hunter Rise does support cross platform play between some of the devices that the game is available on, but not all of them.

You can only play with your friends if they are on the same platform family as you. For example, if you are playing Monster Hunter Rise on the PC and your friend is playing it on the Xbox, you will be able to join each other’s game. However, if your friend is playing it on the Switch, you will not be able to play together.
The reason for this is that Monster Hunter Rise has different versions of the game for different platforms, and they are not compatible with each other. The PC version of the game is based on the Steam version, which is different from the Switch version.
The Xbox and PlayStation versions of the game are also different from the Switch version, but they are compatible with the PC version. Therefore, Monster Hunter Rise supports cross platform play between the following platform families:
- PC, Xbox, and PlayStation
- Switch
The developer of Monster Hunter Rise, Capcom, has not made any new announcements about adding cross platform play between all platforms. However, they have said that they are working on it and that they hope to make it happen in the future.
They have also said that they are aware of the demand from the fans and that they appreciate their patience and support.
How to Play with Friends on Different Devices?
If you want to play with your friends on different devices, you have two options:
- You can buy the game on the same platform family as your friends, and play with them online. Monster Hunter Rise is available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch, and it is relatively cheap compared to other games. You can also transfer your save data between PC and Xbox or PlayStation, using the cloud save feature. However, you cannot transfer your saved data between PC and Switch, or between Xbox and PlayStation.
- You can use a third-party software or service that allows you to stream your game from one device to another, and play with your friends online. For example, you can use Steam Remote Play, Parsec, or Rainway, to stream your PC game to your phone, tablet, or another PC, and join your friends’ game. However, this method may require a good internet connection, a compatible device, and a subscription fee.
Conclusion
Monster Hunter Rise is a fun and exciting game that lets you play with your friends online, but it does not support cross platform play between all devices. You can only play with your friends if they are on the same platform family as you, such as PC, Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch.
If you want to play with your friends on different devices, you can either buy the game on the same platform family as them or use a third-party software or service that allows you to stream your game from one device to another. By following these steps, you can enjoy Monster Hunter Rise with your friends on different devices.
