•Voice Chat: Cross-platform voice chat can be tricky. Consider using third-party apps like Discord if there are issues with in-game chat, especially for those on platforms without native Fortnite voice chat.
•Matchmaking: When in a cross-play party, matchmaking will prioritize players based on the highest platform tier present in the party. For example, if there's a PC player in a party with a Switch player, you'll all face PC opponents.
•Cross-Progression: Your progress, skins, and items are linked to your Epic account, allowing you to continue where you left off on any platform.
•Mobile Considerations: Android players can cross-play, but iOS is currently limited due to the Epic-Apple dispute. Cloud gaming services can bridge this gap for iOS users.
