Is Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Crossplay?
No, Hell Let Loose: Vietnam won’t be giving us true crossplay between PC and consoles at launch. That stings a little—especially when you picture finally teaming up with your console buddies for a chaotic jungle firefight, only to realize you’re stuck on opposite sides of the digital divide. I remember firing up the game and hollering for my PlayStation squad, only to get the dreaded “platform not supported” message. It was the digital equivalent of waving at your neighbor through a locked window.
If you’re on PC, though, you’re in luck: crossplay is alive and well… sort of. Whether you bought the game through Steam, the Microsoft Store, or Epic Games, all these PC folks can squad up together. It feels a bit like being invited to the same barbecue, no matter which door you walked in through—though be prepared for some competitive banter about framerates and mods. Console players? You get plenty of love too. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S folks can group up and relive those big, “did you see that?” moments together, but you’re still walled off from the PC crowd.
There’s hope for change (there always is, right?). But for now, the community’s stuck with this mixed-bag setup, and the wish for seamless Vietnam crossplay feels like watching the chopper fly off without you. You can almost hear everyone in the Discord saying, “Maybe next patch.” Until then, I’ll grab my M16 and wait for the day we storm those bunkers together—no matter what system we’re on—and crack a joke about aiming with thumbsticks versus a mouse. The small stuff keeps the camaraderie alive, even if the crossplay doesn’t.
