Crossplay is almost essential for fighting games nowadays as it helps the community thrive. Here’s everything we know about Under Night In-Birth 2 <\/em>crossplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Under Night In-Birth 2 <\/em>have crossplay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Currently, publisher Arc System Works and developer French-Bread haven’t said a word on Under Night In-Birth 2<\/em> crossplay.<\/strong> The feature seems vital for those who want to play with as many players as possible. While the Under Night <\/em>series<\/a> is popular among anime fighting game fans, the community is relatively small. Crossplay would give players more of a chance to fight new competitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, if I try to learn the game, I wouldn’t want to be saddled with high-level players because of a lacking user base. We’ll update this post if either party confirms there will be <\/em>crossplay at launch or in a patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do other Arc System Works games have crossplay?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In December 2022, the Arc System Works-developed game Guilty Gear Strive <\/em>received crossplay<\/a>. It was years after the game’s initial launch. Hopefully, Under Night In-Birth 2 <\/em>players won’t have to wait that long now that the publisher has experience with this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something that fighting game fans may be happy with, however, is that Under Night In-Birth 2 <\/em>supports rollback netcode<\/a>. This means there will be theoretically a more solid online experience. This system predicts what your next move will be, making the transition between connection speeds and gameplay smoother. It’s not perfect, but it’s way better than a delay-based netcode that has haunted the competitive fighting game scene for many years. Finally that nightmare seems to be fading away. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
