Sony Interactive President John Kodera has announced a significant win for gamers around the world: Starting with Fortnite, the company will be working to enable cross-platform gaming going forward. Starting today, PlayStation 4 Fortnite players can get started by signing up for an "extended Fortnite cross-play beta" coming in the near future. Going forward, Sony will be working to ensure cross-play capability for many games.
For 24 years, we have strived to deliver the best gaming experience to our fans by providing a uniquely PlayStation perspective. Today, the communities around some games have evolved to the point where cross-platform experiences add significant value to players. In recognition of this, we have completed a thorough analysis of the business mechanics required to ensure that the PlayStation experience for our users remains intact today, and in the future, as we look to open up the platform.
This means that Fortnite will finally be fully cross-play compatible for PS4, XB1, Switch, PC, Mac, iOS and Android devices.
