Microsoft hasn't been very friendly with multiplayer.

You can look at FF14 as an example. SE offered it to them, and MS said no.

Prior to this and back in 2013, the game’s director Naoki Yoshida stated that one of the reasons why the game was missing was because the Xbox One platform did not allow for cross-platform play

When asked why FF14 (a realm reborn) wasn't on Xbox one spencer said

"It’s business. As I’ve grow in this role, and I’ve tried to learn the third-party exclusivity thing – and you see us doing less of it now – [I’ve found] it’s not something I’m a huge fan of.”"

So basically Microsoft said no - then later tried to imply that the reason FF14 wasn't on Xbox one is because Sony bought exclusivity to it.

This thread is killing me.  It's been long known that Sony was open to cross-platform play while Microsoft was not but people are just ignoring that for some unknown reason.

It's the entire reason War Thunder was only on PC and PS4 but not Xbox One.  "Microsoft is not allowing cross-play completely; which means [War Thunder] cannot be on Xbox One," Yudintsev told GameSpot at GDC last week in San Francisco.
