So surprised no one has covered this yet. This is big news for anyone who has had this pipe dream for several years. It is finally going to happen!

 

The first game getting Cross-Networking is Rocket League, which already allows PS4 users to play with PC users. No Xbox is going to join in and players across all platforms are able to play together!

 

Catch is, Microsoft is opening this network, hoping that others will participate with them. So we need to hope Sony is open to participate in this. I have no doubts that they will. This is a great opportunity for gaming in general. It's a huge milestone that we need to make as a community. 

 

Here are some sources:

Cross-platform play coming to Rocket League as Xbox Live opens up to other consoles | Polygon

 

 

That's fantastic! I would love to see that. Poor Nintendo though...

Possible NX though. We just have to wait and see.

So in other words, we'll eventually see a merging of all console brands, and their first collaborative project will be the Nintendo PC Playboxstation! X3

 

But seriously though, this opens up interesting doors in terms of gaming in general, ya know?

Let's see how the console war participants react. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was so cringey. Never let me do that again.

This is great,it'd be cool to see Sony,Nintendo and Microsoft work togheter someday like they do with 3rd parties.

Let the true console war begin!

I am so glad this is happening! It is a really good feature for those like me who has a PS4 and wants to play same game with friends who has XBOX One or PC. Just a few days ago I was talking to my friend who has XBOX One about the possibility of us playing Rocket League and the wish of ours became true!
