multiplatform
Works everywhere equally
Multiplatform describes something designed to work across multiple computing platforms—different operating systems, devices, or environments.
A multiplatform game runs on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
Multiplatform software might support Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The term emphasizes compatibility and broad accessibility rather than exclusivity to one system.
