PUBG crossplay likely won't allow players to squad up with friends across platforms, according to a comment from PUBG community coordinator Lumos.

Writing on the PUBG Xbox One subreddit Thursday, Lumos responded to a question asking about the ability to join squads with players on other platforms.

"This is not currently supported," he wrote, "however, cross platform play allows players from both our Xbox and PlayStation communities to play together in the same matchmaking pools."

Many of the specifics of PUBG crossplay remain unknown in the wake of the feature's announcement at the Inside Xbox Gamescom presentation Monday. Neither PUBG PC nor PUBG Mobile appeared during the initial crossplay announcement, indicating only Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will take part in the initiative.

PUBG Corp has yet to confirm which platforms will be eligible for crossplay. Neither has it provided qualities that determine which platforms are potential inclusions in the feature.
