Company Of Heroes 3 has "no plans to support crossplay between PC and consoles at launch"

The WW2 RTS will be hitting consoles after it launches on PC next year

I mean, they only said at launch, right? Maybe there’s still hope for crossplay support further down the line. After all, Relic did also tell me the other week they’ll"go where the players are"when it comes to supporting the game long-term, so you never know.

Still, even though I’ll be playing COH3 on PC when it arrives early next year, part of me’s quite intrigued to see how it runs on consoles. Sega say the RTS is being “rebuilt from the ground up for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S / X”, and it will also come with a newly designed controller scheme (including “intuitive button layouts”) and a revamped UI.

I’vereally enjoyed what I’ve playedof COH3’s dual campaigns so far. The dynamic Italian campaign is a refreshing mix of a turn-based, Total War-style overworld map and big RTS battles, while its more traditional North African operation is like the COH campaigns of old, zipping from one big RTS battle to the next in good old linear fashion. There’s a lot to dig into, although whether it will end up unseating the original Company Of Heroes from ourbest strategy gameslist remains to be seen.
