Crossplay has become more and more of a requirement for any game that wants to build an audience and hang on for the long run. With how split current player bases are and all the different platforms to play on, it only makes sense. Plus, it's an easy win for the players, allowing them to play with and against friends no matter the platform differences.
Some are still playing catch-up, and Ubisoft's The Division 2 is looking to add crossplay to maintain its current loyal player base, still hanging on since its 2019 release. Requested for years now, the announcement of an upcoming crossplay test will give players the chance to test the new system and play with friends as early as tomorrow.
