If you keep up with gaming news then you’re probably very familiar with the controversy surrounding cross-platform play. While this feature is possible and is present for many platforms, one combination that has never happened is PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, this changed very temporarily when the feature was accidentally switched on for Fortnite, and PS4 and Xbox One players were able to play together for a brief time.
However, the mistake was ultimately fixed and now the feature has been nixed, which is a story that people are used to hearing by now. A fan recently reached out to Xbox boss Phil Spencer about the recent occurrence, where he was asked about his thoughts on the accident. Spencer replied with the very expected “I would have liked to see them leave it on.” Many fans in the thread agreed with those sentiments, as it has been something that they have wanted for years now.
Cross-platform play between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One has been a big deal for a long time, mostly because one side wants it and the other doesn’t. The side in question that doesn’t want it is Sony, who have tried to distance themselves from the cross-platform conversation with Xbox One as much as they can. However, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has been very vocal on his opinion on the matter, and would love to have cross-platform play between Xbox One and PlayStation 4. However, it doesn’t appear that that will be happening any time soon, as Sony has remained very firm with their stance on the matter.
Fortnite is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, and received generally positive reviews. The game was praised for its unique heroes and storyline, but the gameplay itself has received criticism for its repetitiveness. The game was developed by Epic Games, who are most known for developing the first three Gears of War games.
