is free to play!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game was initially released for PC in 2012, while the version for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 was released in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TERA is also available on next-gen consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X since 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The game on PC and console, however, is quite different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have different paths and systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its release, the game had successfully hooked up many players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uL0VWHaJUdE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">En Masse Studio<\/a>, in 2017, TERA has 25 million players worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So back to the question, <strong>is TERA Cross-Platform?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is

the cross-platform feature only applies to the console version of TERA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So cross-platform only available for Xbox and PlayStation player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you enter into server selection, there is a question if you want to activate cross-play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommended playing with this cross-play feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to play without cross-play, you will end up playing on a specific server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This specific server only contains the player with a particular platform with cross-play off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whereas if you play on a cross-play server, you will play with a bigger server where players from Xbox and PlayStation4 can play together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, naturally, people will prefer to play with the larger mass with the cross-play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, playing TERA is way more fun when playing with more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also enables you and your friends to play together despite having a different console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_There_Cross-play_between_Xbox_and_PC_Players\"><\/span>Is There Cross-play between Xbox and PC Players?<span

are pretty much separated from the console player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite Windows Store and Xbox share the same server, the game server doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The games on PC and consoles are also quite different anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PC version was initially released in May 2012 for European and North-American server. Korea Server had an earlier release in January 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the console version for Xbox and PlayStation 4 was released in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The PC version had been renamed several times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The publisher renamed it \u201cTERA: Rising\u201d in February 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It introduced a new free-to-play model when it was launched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, the console version also had graphic enhancement, especially for the next-gen console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TERA on PS5 [4K Video]\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CEmty75rBLo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many fans are expecting cross-play between PC and console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it seems impossible in the near future for PC to cross-play with their console counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because different developers now handle TERA on PC and TERA on the console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s hope that both developers can talk and finish this integration as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also read:<a href=\"https:\/\/gameranswers.com\/is-black-ops-4-cross-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" Is Black Ops 4 Cross-platform?
