Makes sense since the other console ones are cross play with PC.

The way crossplay works in fortnite is pretty great. You only play against PC players if you chose to group up with a friend on PC. If you don't you'll never play against PC players.

Good on Sony tbh. My niece plays Fornite on her PS4 and I wouldn't want her exposed to Switch players.

Did they finally add the option in to delink PSN from your epic account so you can use it on Xbox One, or maybe Switch then?

I always felt that Nintendo and MS were closer than Nintendo and Sony, friendship wise. Am I wrong?

It sucks so much to have all my progress since release on PS4, without the ability to cross progress to Switch. :(

Wish I would have started on Xbox...

cant join a match right now..

Nintendo online Sub required confirmed....

I think they do not exactly consider eachother in direct competition. At least certainly with Phil in charge of Xbox and Nintendo willing to allow crossplay which honestly is a damn good thing and sorta blows my mind.

I remember Major Nelson brining up 3DS games he loved to play on the road.. the top brass of MS are pretty open about being fans of games in general.

What should be to the shock of nobody.

Xbox + Switch + PC + Mobile should have been a given with Sony sitting out of the console crossplay like always.

I thought that if you played this game, even on Xbox, at least your progress and items would carry over to the PS4, no? Even if you couldn't cross-play with PS4 people, couldn't you log in with your Epic Account and find it all waiting for you?

If you play on PC and PS4, you're not able to log into your Epic account on the Xbox version. I wonder if being linked to the PS4 version will also prevent you from using your account on the Switch.

If I delink my PSN account can I bring all of my stuff over to Switch?

I'm downloading it to find out.

I'll be very unhappy if it does considering delinking doesn't even stop the lock as far as I'm aware.

Will it restrict me to only other Switch players if I just queue up alone or with other Switch users?

The only appeal of Switch is that as far as I know no one will be using KB&M. Even on PS4 you probably get wrecked by KB&M people fairly often.
