I get a little giddy thinking about tearing down a mountain with friends on different systems, so here's my go-to breakdown for enabling crossplay in 'Riders Republic'.

First, you need a Ubisoft account. If you haven't made one, do it on the Ubisoft website — it's the bridge that links PSN, Xbox Live, Steam or Epic accounts together. On consoles the game usually prompts you to link your Ubisoft account the first time you launch; on PC you can link through the Ubisoft Connect app or the in-game prompt. Once your accounts are linked, head into the game's settings: Settings > Account or Online (depending on your patch) and look for the Crossplay toggle. Turn it on.

On PlayStation and Xbox you also need to confirm your console privacy/communication settings allow multiplayer and cross-platform play — parents, check the family settings. Steam and Epic players should ensure their Ubisoft account is linked via Ubisoft Connect (Steam will pop up a link request). After toggling crossplay, invite friends from your Ubisoft Friends list or search their Ubisoft ID in the social menu. If someone can’t join, make sure everyone’s on the same game version, restart the game, and check NAT/firewall; those little network gremlins often block crossplay. I love how easy it gets once the accounts are linked — more shredding together, fewer setup headaches.

I'm a bit of a tinkerer with network settings, so I'll focus on the parts that trip people up when trying to set up crossplay for 'Riders Republic'. First, linking: go to your Ubisoft account online (account.ubisoft.com) and link each platform you use — PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, Steam, or Epic. If you miss that step, the game can't match you cross-platform. Next, enable the in-game crossplay toggle under Settings > Account/Online.

On consoles, double-check your privacy and communication permissions so the game can see and invite players from other platforms. On PC, ensure Ubisoft Connect is running and that Steam/Epic properly handed over your account link. Network-wise, open NAT or keep it at moderate/open; strict NAT and aggressive firewalls often block cross-platform lobbies. If something still breaks, sign out of Ubisoft in-game, sign back in, and relaunch. I’ve fixed a lot of stuck lobbies with that restart trick — magic for connectivity issues.

I tend to talk to friends like I’m organizing a meetup, and crossplay in 'Riders Republic' is basically that — you need a mutual meeting point: your Ubisoft account. First step: create or sign into your Ubisoft account and link whichever platform you play on (PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, Epic). The game usually prompts linking on first launch, but you can also do it through Ubisoft Connect or the Ubisoft website.

Next, open the game and go to Settings > Account or Online and switch Crossplay to ON. Use the social menu to add friends by their Ubisoft ID or invite them from your Ubisoft Friends list; that’s the cross-platform friend system. Don’t forget to verify console privacy settings allow multiplayer and messaging, and ensure everyone’s updated to the same game patch. If invites still fail, a quick game restart or re-linking the Ubisoft account often clears things up. I love seeing a mixed-platform party — it makes the chaos of the trails even more fun.

I'll keep this straightforward: to play 'Riders Republic' with friends on other platforms you must link your platform account to your Ubisoft account and enable crossplay in the game. On PC (whether you bought it through Steam, Epic, or Ubisoft Connect) open the Ubisoft Connect overlay or the game, sign in, and link whichever store account you used. On PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series, the game should prompt you to connect to Ubisoft — accept that. Then go to Options > Account/Online and toggle Crossplay on.

After that, find friends through the Ubisoft Friends list (search by Ubisoft ID) and invite them. If people can’t see each other, double-check console communication/privacy settings and that everyone has the latest update installed. Also, sometimes a strict NAT or firewall blocks matchmaking, so a quick router restart or allowing the game through your firewall can fix it. Once it’s all set up, I always feel excited seeing a cross-platform lobby full of varied controllers and keyboard players ready to race.

Short and practical: get a Ubisoft account and link it to your PSN, Xbox Live, Steam, or Epic account — that connection is mandatory for cross-platform play in 'Riders Republic'. Then inside the game go to the settings menu (usually under Account or Online) and flip the Crossplay toggle to ON. Use the social menu to add friends by their Ubisoft ID or invite them from your Ubisoft Friends list.

Make sure console privacy allows multiplayer and communications and that everyone’s running the same game version. If invites fail, check NAT type and firewall, relaunch the game, or re-link the Ubisoft account. Once it’s working, swapping tracks with friends on different platforms feels fantastic.

Does riders republic crossplay match PC and console players?

5 Answers2026-02-01 14:23:15
I love talking about 'Riders Republic', and here's the short, friendly breakdown from my gamer-brain: yes, the multiplayer is cross-platform, so PC players and console players can end up in the same matches. You and a friend on different systems can ride, race, and hooligan together as long as your Ubisoft account is linked and you add each other through Ubisoft's friend system. In practice that means if I'm on my PC and my buddy is on a PS5, we can party up and hit the same multiplayer sessions. Progress and stats are tied to your Ubisoft account, so if you hop between platforms and have the same account linked, your progression carries over. Matchmaking pools mix platforms, so expect to see a variety of input types — controllers and keyboard/mouse — in the same lobby. Honestly, it's a blast to see a cross-platform lobby full of chaos; my best trick runs have been against people I met on consoles, and it keeps the player base lively.

Can riders republic crossplay be disabled for private matchmaking?

I like to keep things simple: there isn't a one-click global toggle in 'Riders Republic' that totally turns off cross-platform play for every private match. What you can do is create a private, invite-only session and only invite people who are on the same platform as you. That effectively keeps everyone in the lobby on the same console or PC ecosystem. Practically this means using your console's party/invite system (or inviting from your Ubisoft Connect friends list) rather than opening the lobby to matchmaking. If you want a purer split, have everyone join via their platform friends list instead of cross-platform Ubisoft aliases; that prevents accidental invites from other systems. Also make sure everyone has the same game build and DLC access so matches don't fail on load. I usually set the lobby to invite-only and double-check invites before starting — it's a bit manual but it works reliably when I want matches that feel native to my console. It keeps the frame-rate and control feel consistent, which I really appreciate.

Does riders republic crossplay keep progression across platforms?

5 Answers2026-02-01 09:37:05
Good news — if you've been bouncing between PC and consoles, 'Riders Republic' does let your core progression travel with you, but there are a few moving parts. When you link the platform accounts to the same Ubisoft Connect profile, your player level, stats, unlocked tricks, career progress and most multiplayer ranks are preserved across systems. Cross-play matchmaking is supported too, so you can ride with friends on other platforms without losing your grind. That said, the fine print matters. Purchases tied to a specific platform store (like a PlayStation Store DLC purchase or Xbox store cosmetics) often won't magically become available on another platform; those entitlements are owned by the store. Trophies/achievements remain on the platform where you earned them, and cloud-save syncing sometimes needs an upload/download to appear on another device. Overall, link your Ubisoft account and expect your gameplay progress to follow you — just don’t assume in-store buys will.

Does riders republic crossplay support ranked matches and leaderboards?

5 Answers2026-02-01 03:03:46
I get asked this a lot in my friend group, and here's the lowdown from my own play sessions with 'Riders Republic'. Cross-play is supported for the game's multiplayer; you can squad up and join mass races across different platforms if everyone has online play enabled and is connected through the same Ubisoft account or friend system. Where it gets interesting is how competitive tracking is handled: there isn't a traditional, separated 'ranked queue' like you'd find in a MOBA or a competitive shooter. Instead, competitive progression mostly shows up through global leaderboards, seasonal events, and event-specific rankings that everyone can see. So, if you're thinking about climbing a ladder and getting matched only with people at your exact skill tier, 'Riders Republic' leans more on leaderboards and seasonal performance than a formal ranked matchmaking system. I love that the leaderboards are visible across platforms — it makes chasing times and scores feel meaningful no matter what console or PC my friends use — and that keeps the competitive itch satisfied for me.

Can riders republic crossplay handle party invites and voice chat?

5 Answers2026-02-01 00:49:19
Totally doable — I've been running cross-platform sessions in 'Riders Republic' with friends on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, and the party invites and voice chat actually work pretty well when you know where to look. The important bit is that crossplay in 'Riders Republic' uses Ubisoft Connect for cross-platform invites and in-game voice. That means the console-native party system (like PlayStation Party or Xbox Party) won't bridge to other platforms, so you have to add each other through Ubisoft Connect IDs or the in-game friend list. Once you're in the same Ubisoft party, the in-game voice chat carries across platforms, so you can hear each other regardless of whether someone is on PS5 or PC. I've noticed voice quality can depend on NAT, connection quality, and whether someone mutes their platform settings, but it's perfectly serviceable for casual sessions. If you run into trouble, check that crossplay is enabled in settings, confirm Ubisoft Connect friends are added, and toggle the in-game voice options (mic on, voice distance if applicable, phone permissions on consoles). Overall it's my go-to way to hop into races and shred lines with buddies across systems — keeps the crew together, which I love.
