Crossplay Unlikely To Be A Defining Feature For PS5 And Next Xbox -Dev
What, for example, is it that developers would want Sony and Microsoft to do with the PS5 and the Xbox Scarlett? Speaking to GamingBolt, Lukasz Janczukco from Juggler Games, developers of My Memory of Us, said that the one thing they hope both companies continue doing is supporting indie game developers.
“We hope that both Sony and Microsoft will continue the support for indie game developers because we still have a lot of stories to tell and we would like to share them also with console players.”
He also said that cross-platform play won’t be a defining trait of next generation consoles, if only because it’s not a feature that is universally applicable to all games to begin with.
“For sure there are games and genres that will benefit from this solution. It will make easier for communities to share fun and experience. However cross platform in my opinion won’t work universally for all the games so it’s hard for me to believe that it will be defining feature.”
Which makes sense—a single player game, for example, wouldn’t necessarily benefit from cross platform play in the slightest (though it still could offer cross platform progression, that would be more universally applicable no matter what). Nonetheless, I do hope that the move towards cross platform play and progression continues—I think that’s the way of the future, and I would hate for us to go backwards from here, now that even Sony is on board.

At this point I do not know what to believe, I hear that it will be a thing and then it will not, it should be a thing because I have several good friends who have different platforms then I do, and I'm sure others are in the same predicament.

At least it seems like more and more developers are interested in making this a reality. I hate being separated from my friends on the opposing console and I don't feel like buying both.

Of course, they are still battling each other for the best console. It's just something that players want so badly and it's sad because it's clearly possible. Just not a focus :/

I can understand why they don't want it.. but then from an outside point it's something we all want, I would love to play on every game against friends, even if they have to make it an none forced option, this way you can disable and enable if you wanna play on xplat, so you're only matched against people on your console, the option is off by default.
this is something I wanna see.. and Have for a long time.

Not too worried about crossplay for me. I'd rather they use the time on improving something else rather than implementing that
