There hasn't been an official word from Ubisoft yet regarding crossplay for Riders Republic. Crossplay is quickly becoming a standard for multi-platform games — Respawn Entertainment being one of many developers to adopt it, with their announcement of crossplay coming to Apex Legends.

Riders Republic launching for both current generation and next generation platforms simultaneously suggests it will at least have cross-generation play, but Ubisoft has neither confirmed this. Cross-generational play would allow PS4 players to play with PS5 players, and Xbox One players to play with Xbox Series X players.
