It is confirmed that the new console versions of the game will not support cross-play or cross-saves with other platforms. For players who were hoping to jump from the Nintendo Switch to the PlayStation or Xbox, they will need to play fresh again. Saves from the Switch cannot be transferred to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles. They cannot also play together with other platforms since it does not support cross-play.

Players who want to try out the game on those new console platforms, they will have to play from scratch. No biggie for the true fans of the franchise, they can always start from the beginning and enjoy the ride all over again.
Monster Hunter Rise arrives on PS4, PS5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on January 30, 2023.
