Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft opening online play between Xbone/PC and other console networks (Update: Sony "responds")

Sony has 2 to 1 market share right now. Of course MS has more to gain if people could buy what ever they want and play against who ever they want right now. 

 

That makes zero sense.

Lol. They are the reason there is segregation in the first place.

I don't see how that is possible.

Eh, I would think that if all online walls were opened up and we had cross platform play between PC, PS4, XB1, and NX, then who picked what would boil down to the exclusives and features.  Xbox has been doing less to distinguish itself lately, and I get the feeling they're currently trying to funnel their userbase onto PC. Bearing that in mind, the worst that can come from Playstation users meeting Xbox users in the battlefield is a little bit of trash talk.



For crossplay to work.. will it not atleast have to run at the same framerate..?

And also what about higher resolution on pc..?

 If pc gamers are looked to Xone specs.. I could see them be pissed about it..

The past is the past. Let those who have not sinned cast the first stone. Everyone has sinned in their own way. Why must we hang  each other on the faults of our fathers? What's important  now is the future and how we can make it a better place for us to live in and for our children  to inherit. 🙄

Can't wait to see how they're going to solve the whole mouse vs. controller issue. I'm guessing all FPS games are off the table.

i hope Sony bans this. This will only hurt them if they allow it

DAT Xbox MAU increase would be deadly. jk



That's great news.

I'm sure you won't be able to friend someone outside of the game, but it's a start.

Only in terms of PC x-play. There could still be console cross platform play.

I'm HOPPPPPPIIIINNNNGGGG Blizzard updates Diablo 3 to allow cross platform play now. (and implements seasons to kill off all the douche bag cheaters).
