Is Foamstars crossplay or cross-platform?

Foamstars is a live-service, foam-firing multiplayer title. We have the answer if you’re wondering whether or not it follows other modern games by offering crossplay and cross-platform functionality.

Deviating away from the traditional JRPG formula that Square Enix is known for, Foamstars is a free-to-play, fast-paced multiplayer shooter. It has a lot in common with Nintendo’s Splatoon in terms of its gameplay, and when it comes to multiplayer, we have to ask about crossplay.

There was a period in gaming where crossplay wasn’t happening. Now, it’s commonplace for online titles to allow crossplay, and we’re here to dive into Foamstars and how accessible it is.

Does Foamstars have crossplay or cross-platform play?

Foamstars fully embraces crossplay and cross-platform play, meaning you can enjoy Foamstars against all the competition on different consoles.

But the only minor caveat is that Foamstars is currently available on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5—no Xbox, PC, or Nintendo Switch release. This means that while Foamstars does have crossplay, it’s same format crossplay.

If you have a PS Plus Essentials subscription on PS4 or PS5, you can battle other Foamstars players enjoying the shooter title on the other PlayStation console.

Never say never to an Xbox port later down the line, depending on the success of Foamstars, but I wouldn’t count on it when you consider the status of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Xbox—another Square Enix property.
