Nintendo describes these connections among Nintendo Switch 2 players. That wording does not establish crossplay with PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, and the checked Bandai Namco page makes no crossplay promise. Plan to play with friends in the same platform ecosystem unless an official support page says otherwise.
Save Data Cloud is listed on Nintendo's product information, but cloud backup is not the same as cross-save. No transfer path from an existing PlayStation, Xbox, or PC character is confirmed here.
