Xbox gamers are now playing against PS4 players in Fortnite

Microsoft first introduced support for cross-platform play at E3 last year, however Sony has been hesitant to allow it. Eurogamer reports that Reddit users have observed that Epic’s co-op survival recreation, Fortnite, has been quietly up to date to help cross-platform play between Xbox One and PS4 gamers. It’s not clear if Microsoft and Sony are each supporting this, or whether or not it’s a short lived glitch. The Verge has reached out to each Sony and Epic Video games, to verify whether or not this has been formally enabled.

Earlier this yr, Sony refused to enable cross-platform play for each Rocket League and Minecraft, regardless of Microsoft and Nintendo each supporting it throughout Xbox One, PC, and Change. Rocket League developer Psyonix beforehand stated the sport would help PS4 cross-platform play in “lower than an hour everywhere in the world” if Sony eliminated its blocks.

Sony hasn’t proven an curiosity in enabling this key function, and disabling it merely encourages pal teams to purchase a PS4 in the event that they need to play with their buddies. Microsoft has been pushing cross-platform play at a time when it’s struggling to compete with Sony’s robust PS4 gross sales. If this isn’t only a glitch then Fortnite is the primary recreation to formally help cross-platform play between Xbox One and PS4, and we’re hoping to see much more sooner or later. If it’s a glitch then it demonstrates simply how straightforward it's for PS4 gamers to play towards Xbox players.
