Diablo III: No Cross-Play Between PlayStation and PC

4.7
Recently, Blizzard announced that gamers who play the upcoming console version of Diablo III will not be able to team up with their PC friends.

Community manager Vaeflare shared the news on the Blizzard forums, before adding that the PlayStation versions of the game would not support a USB mouse and keyboard while the PC version won't be usable with an analog controller.

"While we think cross-platform play would be awesome, there are currently no plans to allow connectivity between PlayStation Network and Battle.net (this is pretty standard for most games that have PC and console support)."

"As a result, the characters on your Battle.net account and PlayStation account will also remain separate."

"In terms of allowing an analog controller hookup for the PC, we don’t have any plans for that kind of support right now. Similarly, since Diablo III for console was designed with a controller in mind, the PlayStation version of Diablo III will not support USB mice or keyboards."

Starify It would be fun if there was cross play between the PC and console. I understand how there would probably different features set up, and the game might not be as updated as the PC version. Another example of this, is like Minecraft and the PC and Xbox versions. PC is more advanced and updated than the Xbox.


Well it's that but the way the network connects and stuff so pc, xbox, and playstation versions are all different.
