Is Cross-Inventory available in Brawlhalla?

Another important aspect is to have your purchases across all the platforms.

Say, you’ve bought Star Wars skins on PC. Will you have them on PlayStation too?

It is possible, but the process is slightly more complicated.

  • Head to the Setting menu and the Account Linking section
  • Press Cross Progression and Set Up Cross Progression
  • Your Linked Accounts will be displayed here. Choose one to be your Active Linked Account, so you will have inventory from it on your current Platform Account.

Only one Linked Account can be Active, and not all the items are transferred between inventories. Mammoth Coins and platform exclusive items are not part of the Brawlhalla Cross-Inventory program.

What is the best platform to play Brawlhalla on?

One piece of advice should be given regarding Brawlhalla crossplay and cross-progression. If you want to improve your skills, play on PC or consoles (like other fighting games). Touch-screen controls strongly limit your opportunities to land combos and even be properly mobile on those platforms.

Sure, it is possible to connect a controller to Android and iOS devices. Do it if you want to play Brawlhalla on your Android/iOS tablet or phone.

Touch-screen controls are still good for goofy party times, but they are not for even slightly serious players.
