Sony is now opening up cross-play on PS4 to all willing developers
For the longest time, PlayStation kept itself out of most matters relating to cross-platform online play, preferring for PS4 gamers to stick to playing against those on the same platform, or against PC users, at most. Tension began building, as players clamored for more open cross-play with those on other consoles and systems, and eventually, PlayStation gave in, slowly allowing for a beta form of cross-play on select games, starting with Rocket League and Fortnite. Things might start to get even better, as this week, in an interview, Sony stated that "PS4 cross-play efforts have officially moved out of the beta stage".
This means, so long as any developer requests it, they'll be allowed to add cross-play with Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC platforms on PlayStation 4 titles. According to the interview, the first game to make use of the fully-featured cross-play functionality will be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), likely paving the way for more titles to either retroactively add cross-play post-launch, or add them to upcoming releases. PUBG will also be rolling out cross platform play for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 users this month.
