If you’re planning to pick up the game at the same time as your friends, you might be wondering if it has cross-generational support.

With that in mind, here’s everything we know about cross-gen support in Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections.

Will Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections have cross-gen?

Yes, Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections will have cross-gen support at launch.

With Storm Connections coming to last-gen, as well as current-gen consoles, fans will be glad to know that cross-gen will be available in the game. This means that if you’re playing on PS5 and want to match up with others on PS4 for example, you’ll be able to do just that.

Players on current-gen consoles will also have the option to adjust online matchmaking by blocking last-gen players from their selection pool. As the game is set to be locked at 30FPS for last-gen consoles, this is a handy option for those on PS5 and Xbox Series S|X who want to experience the smoothest possible gameplay at 60FPS during online battles.
