Is Pavlov Crossplay?
Just imagine, you are in the middle of an intense VR firefight, with loaded guns, and a warmed up match. All of a sudden, your friend calls you up, hyped to join. But there’s a catch: they’re on a different platform.
Maybe they’re on a Meta Quest, and you’re playing on your PCVR setup. You pause, you wonder… wait, is Pavlov even crossplay?
In the wild world of VR shooters, cross-platform play can make or break your squad goals. And Pavlov, one of the most beloved multiplayer VR shooters out there, has stirred up a lot of questions and confusion about whether players across different headsets can actually lock and load together.
So, let’s break down the one burning question: Can you play Pavlov with your friends, no matter the VR platform? Buckle up. We’re diving into the crossplay chaos of Pavlov.
Is Pavlov Crossplay?
The answer is: yes… but with a few important details.
If you’re on PlayStation VR2, the good news is you can crossplay with folks on SteamVR. That means PSVR2 and PC VR players can absolutely jump into the same lobbies, shoot it out, and enjoy the full Pavlov experience together. Cross-platform fireteams? Totally possible.
But here’s where things get a little tricky.
If your friend’s on an Oculus Quest, they’re probably playing Pavlov Shack, which is a stripped-down, standalone version of the game designed for the Quest’s hardware. That version is not crossplay with the full Pavlov VR. So if you’re on PSVR2 or PCVR and they’re on Pavlov Shack? Yeah… that reunion’s not happening in-game.
Another heads-up: mods aren’t supported on PSVR2, so crossplay is limited to official maps only. PC players might be used to loading up crazy custom maps and wacky mods, but on PlayStation, it’s strictly vanilla, clean, curated, and chaos-free.
That said, many players have noticed that crossplay with PC has boosted the PSVR2 player base, making it easier to find matches and keep the game alive and thriving.

Conclusion
So, yes, Pavlov is crossplay between PSVR2 and PC VR, but not with Quest’s Pavlov Shack. And if you’re sticking to the official maps, you’re good to go.
Now get in there, soldier. Your squad’s waiting.
