Unfortunately, Armored Core 6 does not feature crossplay in any form, meaning that every single platform has its own dedicated matchmaking system. This extends even within the same system family, so you won't be able to connect PS5 to PS4 or Xbox Series X|S to Xbox One, for example.

There is also frustratingly no crossplay when it comes to Share ID codes either, which are what you use to upload and download emblems, decals, and AC data from other players. This is rather frustrating as they have no reason to be platform-locked, so make sure to check whether the code is from your platform before trying to use it.

Much like crossplay, there is unfortunately no cross-platform progression in Armored Core 6, meaning your saves are locked to the platform that they were originally played on. While this is unsurprising when it comes to migrating saves from PlayStation to Xbox or PC, it is frustrating that you won't be able to keep your saves when moving from previous-gen consoles to current-gen either.

At least that gives you a reason to start the game all over again, and perhaps go for one of the other endings that are available to you. Who knows? You might even work your way towards getting all of the achievements too.

That’s all there is to know about Armored Core 6 having crossplay or cross-platform progression. Don't let that put you off the game though, as our glowing review certainly sings the praises of FromSoftware's return to the mech series.
