Cross platform PS4/Xbox Rocket League play is ready, waiting on Sony
Speaking to IGN, vice president Jeremy Dunham said the studio has now managed the feat, and is ready to go as soon as it gets the green light.
“We’re literally at the point where all we need is the go-ahead on the Sony side and we can, in less than a business day, turn it on and have it up and working no problem,” he said.
“It’d literally take a few hours to propagate throughout the whole world, so really we’re just waiting on the permission to do so.”
That heavily implies that Microsoft has already said yes to the arrangement. Historically Xbox has been seen as the less-open of the two platforms, but ever since it got excited about PC and Xbox One cross-play Microsoft has seemed less reluctant to make peace. Now it’s Sony who appears to be dragging the chain, even though it already allows cross-play with Nintendo platforms.
Rocket League is available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and supports cross-play between PC and consoles.

Not going to happen. History repeats itself. Sony wanted crossplay all last generation when the 360 dominated the market but Microsoft kept laughing and denying that they'd ever allow it. Now the positions have flipped and microsoft is desperate to play catch up with Sony and Sony is not allowing it because it would not help them in any way shape or form.

Not going to happen anytime soon. I don't really care to play with people on Xbox anymore anyway.

I had no clue cross play was between Sony and Nintendo products. What games and also what systems?

I honestly see no point to this when you can't invite other people on a different platform. Add that, and I'm sure you'd get more sales.
