Today, Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida reportedly told the press that his company generally doesn't believe in the idea of opening up the PlayStation to cross-platform multiplayer.

"On cross-platform, our way of thinking is always that PlayStation is the best place to play. Fortnite, I believe, partnered with PlayStation 4 is the best experience for users, that's our belief," he said, according to The Independent.
 
We never had it between competing consoles before and it shouldn't be expected now, it'd be cool for those that want it to get it so they can find something else to whine about but I know whenever I've played an MP game on PS4 I've never had a problem finding enough people to play with as it is. Maybe in time if MS and Nintendo keep it up that'll change Sony's mind but as it stands now I don't see any real reason for them to do it. Now what they should allow is people to carry their progress over from one platform to another, I would think the developer/publisher could push really hard for that if they wanted to since that should be something they keep track of anyway.
 
Makes no sense that if Sony views Windows PC as their biggest competitor, then crossplay with other consoles should be a no brainer.

Doesn't affect me.

Just thought I'd mention that, because I know everyone was wondering how this was affecting me.

Honestly would be great to be able to play with friends that only do playstation, no reason to play competitive against randoms though, have plenty of them on live. Sony do look like retards in this matter though imo.
 
I would rather have full co-op between the consoles and PC. I have no problem if you lock me out of PVP, but I would love to be able to play Destiny or The Division co-op with my console friends instead of having to buy the 30 fps console versions.
 
Sony don't need no smelly Xbox fans.

Fortnite is literally our Rosa Parks. Epic has forever changed gaming's future with Fortnite and full cross platform play. Let's not make light at how momentous this really is.

Oh hush. No one studio should get full credit.

Psyonix were the first to really push it and call Sony out on it

Epic and Fortnite we're an order of magnitude more influential than whoever Psyonix was. Epic is King Arthur pulling the sword out of the stone. Psyonix was the town drunk who couldn't.
 
Game is really big. Really important. And really damn good.

Yeah its a nice game but you don't really care that as much as you want to tie yourself to it to make yourself look smart in some way.

Sony doesn't flip without Psyonix, Microsoft, Epic, and Nintendo doing what they did. Listed in order of importance.

Why say things you don't actually believe?

Psyonix, Microsoft, and Nintendo tried to flip Sony on this for years. They failed. It took the biggest console game in the history of the industry to actually do it. Hence, Fortnite is currently the only game with true crossplay right now. Sony is "looking into" additional games.

You might not like Fortnite, but the game united the tribes. Everything has changed because of this game.
