Today marks the beginning of a new day. I say that because Sony is finally allowing for cross-platform gaming between the other systems like the Nintendo Switch & Xbox One. Today it kicks off starting w/ the ever-so-popular Fortnite.
Previously Sony blocked cross-play access but in a recent blog, the head of PlayStation says they’ve found a solution to finally make it happen. They’re kicking things off w/ an open beta for Fortnite that will allow cross-platform gameplay, progression & commerce across the PS4, Switch, Xbox One as well as Android, iOS, PC, & Mac.
This is a step in the right direction to allow gamers on different platforms to play against & w/ each other. Since most games are played via online multiplayer anyways, not sure what took them so long. Microsoft & Nintendo have been playing w/ each other for quite some time now. Glad Sony is finally joining the party.
Now if only Sony can go back and open it up for Minecraft & Rocket League.
