Crossplay is rapidly becoming the industry standard, so cool.

 

[Dervius]

Crossplay really is great.

Laughed a bit at this

It's a win-win for everybody. Even consumers would be more encouraged to buy games on multiple systems if they could still carry over all their progress and play with the same folks regardless of which platform they're on, so that's a net positive for devs and publishers too.

I wonder if it's using the new Epic cross-play service that was announced the other day alongside the UE5 demo

Wasn't this announced as a Stadia exclusive? seems notably absent

It's a (timed) EGS exclusive, so almost certainly.

Nice, will definitely get it on PS5 unless Epic gives it for free XD

 

[Unicorn]

That PS5 logo is two-tone?! excited to see the two-tone console!

Is Destiny 2 getting this amazing kind of crossplay in the future or only crossplay between the same family of consoles?

This year, only for the same family. Next year, full crossplay.

Beautiful.

Oh. I never realized Deep Silver were publishing this. That'll be quite a boost for the franchise to get it into more mainstream gaming circles imo.

 

[Lukas Taves]

Didn't even know about this game, but this is amazing. Hope it becomes standard to the point we tell our kids: "Did you know there was a time where you could only play online with friends unless they had the same console family from the same generation as you?" and that will be as shocking as telling them we didn't have internet access 100% of the time

 

[Rickyrozay2o9]

this is dope.

 

[Xater]

Nice, I have played the shit out of the original Chivalry. Their follow-up, whatever it was called, was not great.

 

[jon bones]

So good to see crossplay become the norm

Definitely. Not to mention that it will be a huge boon for niche or older multiplayer games since they'll remain a viable purchase for way longer.

No, it was always an EGS exclusive on PC with console details up in the air until now. Cannot imagine playing a game like this on Stadia anyways.

This was such a well put together trailer, I'm back on the hype train. 1000 hours in the first game and 300 in Mordhau lol.
