PS4 E3 update: Bad news if you want PlayStation, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch cross-play
Sony talks about PS4 cross-play with Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
Sony has bad news for PS4 owners hoping for cross-play multiplayer with Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.
During E3 2017 it was revealed that both Minecraft and Rocket League would feature cross-platform multiplayer between Nintendo Switch and Xbox One.
Unfortunately, however, Sony doesn't seem quite so keen to bring the PlayStation 4 into the cross-platform multiplayer mix.
Sony's Jim Ryan told Eurogamer that while the company isn't totally oppose to the idea, the firm is wary of exposing players to external influences outside of its control.
"It's certainly not a profound philosophical stance we have against this," Ryan explained. "We've done it in the past. We're always open to conversations with any developer or publisher who wants to talk about it.
"Unfortunately it's a commercial discussion between ourselves and other stakeholders, and I'm not going to get into the detail of that on this particular instance."
