PC and Xbox players can play together through the magic of cross-platform play, available in many modern games. To enable this, both players must have compatible versions of the game that support cross-play. Generally, you'll link your game account (for example, an Xbox Live account) to a unifying platform account (like an Epic Games account for Fortnite) if necessary. Ensure both players are friends on this platform, and simply invite them to your game session. Always check the game's settings or options menu for 'cross-play' to ensure it's enabled.
