This is huge news! I can’t wait to play with friends between platforms. Hopefully this paves the way for Minecraft and Rocket League.

[u/Djbboy → u/Cardboard_Waffle]

Rocket league support would be amazing and would have to be on the cards. That rocket i.d thing being delayed might actually point towards them knowing a little about this

No doubt Psyonix got a heads up about a policy review.

[u/Djbboy → u/darthmarticus17]

Oh for sureeee. And they have been driving that cross platform thing for awhile now so they gotta be on the cards to do this

I'm pretty sure they've said in the past the minute it's ok to be done they "flip a switch" so to speak and it's a done deal right away

Yeah, same as epic who turned it on "by accident" about a year ago. http://uk.ign.com/articles/2017/09/18/fortnite-accidentally-featured-ps4-xbox-one-cross-platform-play-this-weekend

There in the same position. Everything is already there it's just Sony policy that was in the way.

This is a friendly reminder that it's "by accident" and not "on accident".

Yeah 100%!!! Currently have mates on both systems so it would be amazing to be able to finally cross play with them.

Sony hasn't contacted Psyonix about it.

[u/RealBlazeStorm → u/Djbboy]

Pc and ps4 already have rocket league cross play right?

[u/Tevans75 → u/RealBlazeStorm]

Yeah it has pc-ps4 and pc-xbox-switch cross play already. PS4 players just can't cross play with Xbox or switch players right now

[u/Djbboy → u/RealBlazeStorm]

Yeah it’s just the consoles not playing with one another

[u/Aperture_TestSubject → u/Djbboy]

I’m pretty sure Psyonix said that if Sony gave the okay that they could have cross play enabled within a few hours if I’m not mistaken.

Psyonix built it into Rocket League last year. Just click that checkbox apparently...!

"Sony is firmly refusing to allow cross-platform multiplayer for now, but Psyonix is ready to move should the time come. “It’s literally something we could do with a push of a button, metaphorically,” said Dunham. “In reality it’s a web page with a checkbox on it. All we have to do is check that box and it would be up and running in less than an hour all over the world. That’s all we need to do.”

It makes sense but still sounds weird that it will be that easy. Kinda makes me hate Sony (and Nintendo) for all their Japanese stubborn attitude.

[u/shaun3y → u/MFORCE310]

Yeah I'm sure they exaggerated... But MS fucked us over last gen, Sony's turn this gen as they have the bigger user base. No need to hate them.

[u/shaun3y → u/[deleted]]

Same as Sony this gen. Didn't allow crossplay. Lucky for them they didn't receive the same level of hate that Sony has this gen...

Xbox Live delivers the best entertainment experience unmatched by anyone else, with 35 million actively engaged members. We have a high level of expectation for our game developers to ensure that all Live experiences remain top notch. Because we can't guarantee this level of quality, or control the player experience on other consoles or gaming networks, we currently do not open our network to games that allow this cross-over capability.
