Right now, COD Mobile doesn’t support cross-platform play with console or PC players including those on PS5. COD Mobile is its own beast made specifically for mobile devices running on a different engine than the console and PC versions. This means the gameplay user interface and overall experience are quite different, so you won’t see mobile and console players in the same match. You can still play COD Mobile on a PC using an emulator, though.
Cross-platform play is one of those features that gamers really love—it lets you play with friends no matter what device they’re on whether it’s a console PC or mobile. It’s all about breaking down those barriers. But whether or not a game supports this feature depends on how it’s built and the platforms it’s designed for.
The main issue is the difference in how each platform is designed. Mobile games are made to work with touch controls while consoles like the PS5 are all about the controller. Even though COD Mobile lets you use an external controller the game is still optimized for mobile users. Plus, mobile devices usually have lower hardware capabilities compared to a console like the PS5 which boasts better graphics higher frame rates and faster processing power.
Mixing mobile and console players in the same match would lead to an unbalanced game, especially in tournaments. Console players would have a clear advantage with their superior hardware and controls which is why developers keep these player groups separate.
For now, if you want to game with your friends on a PS5 you’ll need to hop on the same platform. COD Mobile is still an awesome way to enjoy Call of Duty when you’re on the move but for that console-level competition sticking with the PS5 Xbox or PC is your best bet.
