Xbox Live Now Supports Cross Platform Play With PlayStation

Microsoft is opening Xbox Live and allowing Xbox gamers to play with PlayStation and PC users.

ID@Xbox Director, Chris Charla, explained that support for cross platform play between Xbox One and Windows 10 is already baked into the platform and developers are now free to add support for cross platform play with other consoles and PC platforms. Of course, Sony and Nintendo still prohibit such interactions.

Psyonix’s Rocket League will be the first non-Microsoft game to take advantage of this new capability by enabling cross-network play between Xbox One and PC players.

Microsoft promised that Xbox users will always have the option to turn cross platform play off even though we don’t really see why anybody would want to do that.
