Dear Reader:
Hi-Rez Studios President tells Sony it's time to 'stop playing favorites,' open up cross-platform play for all games
There are certain games available right now that allow for cross-platform play on all consoles. For a very long time, Sony blocked cross-platform play on PS4 with Switch/Xbox One users. That eventually changed after fans complained quite loudly, and Epic managed to reverse Sony's original decision on Fortnite. The thing is, not all games get access to the same cross-platform options.
For example, Hi-Rez Studios' titles (SMITE, Paladins, Realm Royale) don't have full cross-platform play. Hi-Rez Studios President Stewart Chisam wants Sony to stop holding them back and open up full cross-platform play, so their fans can enjoy games together with other Switch/Xbox One/PS4 users. You can see Mr. Chisam's comments below.
Hey @Sony @PlayStation. It's time to stop playing favorites and tear down the crossplay/progression wall for everyone. We have @SMITEGame, @PaladinsGame, @RealmRoyale ready to go when you are. https://t.co/KNDetpXPf5
