Psyonix vice president Jeremy Dunham says Cross-Platform feature between PS4 and Xbox One is now complete, could be implemented to everyone within “few hours” – it requires Sony’s approval to proceed.
Talking to IGN, Jeremy Dunham has explained this groundbreaking feature allowing, for the first time in History, a battle between Xbox users and PlayStation users. He says:
“Right now, we’re literally at the point where all we need is the go-ahead on the Sony side and we can, in less than a business day, turn it on and have it up and working no problem. It’d literally take a few hours to propagate throughout the whole world, so really we’re just waiting on the permission to do so.”
Back in March, he said a solution was “figured out” but wasn’t finished, and that Psyonix needed to “find out where we stand politically with everyone”. Microsoft has approved cross-platform feature, now waiting for Sony’s approval.
“Sony’s such a big company that I’m sure it takes a while for them to figure out what it is that the roadblocks are, what sort of issues they might run into with other titles, any number of things that I can’t even begin to speculate on. We definitely ask them for updates often, and we’re still very confident that they’re eventually going to open those doors and welcome us in, but we also are really understanding that it’s going to take a while especially given all the ramifications of everything. It was just as much of a surprise to them as I think the rest of the world when Microsoft said that they would do it.”
