I’m trying to use my old PQ3 account on a new PS5 and I can’t find a way to do it, can someone tell me if it can be done and how to do it. Thanks. ---

Sadly, PS does not have cross-play with other platforms: > [@Cross-Play Information](https://community.puzzlequest3.com/t/cross-play-information/4980): > > Hey everyone, Just wanted to create a quick thread where players can check out information about cross-play, in case you may not already be aware of the details or have seen our help centre! Sony Players Currently, due to platform agreements, there is no cross-play between SONY and any other platforms. You also cannot link your email to a SONY account.

That’s frustrating. Sony’s walled garden strikes again. Good call sticking with Xbox since your progress is already there. No reason to start over from zero just for a different controller. ---
