Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford has confirmed that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will have full cross-platform play at launch for all platforms. This includes PlayStation support, which was notoriously blocked with crossplay in Borderlands 3. Pitchford thanked “our partners at 2k Games and 1st parties, including Sony, for working together on this.”
However, he noted in a follow-up tweet that there may be hiccups since “none of the platforms were designed for this.” “Please take it easy on us if there are hiccups. This is hard stuff and none of the platforms were designed for this. We’ve done impossible work to make it happen and to try to make it as easy to use as possible, but this is new territory and the wild is not a test environment.”
Time will tell what issues emerge so if you’re picking up the looter shooter primarily for cross-platform co-op, it may be best to wait for impressions. In a separate tweet, Pitchford considered the addition of PlayStation platforms to Borderlands 3’s crossplay to be “inevitable.” More details will come “as soon as we have it.”
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands launches on March 25th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC (which is a timed exclusive to the Epic Games Store). It will receive four expansions post-launch called Mirrors of Mystery which add new environments, boss fights, loot and cosmetics along with a seventh class. Read more about them here.

BL3 has supported crossplay for sometime. The future addition of PlayStation to crossplay for BL3 is now what I would consider to be inevitable. More info to come as soon as we have it…
