Crossplay er blitt mer og mer viktig for gamere de siste årene. Det lar dem spille med andre på forskjellige plattformer, og administrerende direktør for nWay Taehoon Kim snakket om funksjonen i et panel under PAX East (rapportert av VentureBeat), hvor han sier at Sony får mye press på seg om å bli mer åpne for dette.
"Right now it's not fully there, because one of the biggest platforms out there, Sony, still isn't fully opening up. They've made some exceptions with a handful of games like Fortnite and Rocket League, but they've said they have to judge whether they can allow through other games or not. They're getting a lot of pressure to open up," forklarte Kim.
"People want to play with their friends, and not all of your friends are going to be on the exact same platform as you are. Being able to do that is great. Also, families like to play together. One thing we've seen with games like Vainglory and Fortnite is that a whole family may want to play together, but nobody owns four PlayStations. Dad's going to play on the iPad, one kid is on the PS4, another kid is on his phone. That kind of gameplay is only possible through crossplay."
I februar sa Sonys Shawn Layden at de er åpne for crossplay, og at alt som trengs er at utgivere og utviklere tillater det, men de administrerende direktørene for Chucklefish og Hi-Rez Stduios er uenige i dette, basert på sine egne erfaringer.
Fortnite tillater for øyeblikket crossplay på Sonys plattform. Er crossplay viktig for deg?
