Crossplay was expanded in recent entries to include the Switch, so all console players can match up together; it can be toggled off in the profile/settings menu. Progression (Road to the Show, Diamond Dynasty, etc.) syncs across platforms, but Stubs (in-game currency) remain tied to the platform they were purchased on.
