Games That Likely Won’t Support PS4 Cross-Play
Fallout 76
Leaders at Bethesda have not been shy with their opinions about Sony blocking cross-play. Earlier this year, Fallout 76 director Todd Howard told German gaming site Gamestar that cross-play isn’t possible because “Sony isn’t being as helpful as we want them to be.”
However, even if Sony allows cross-play for Fallout 76, it may be too late for it to be implemented. Bethesda’s Pete Hines has shared this sentiment on Twitter following the Fortnite news.
Folks, chill. I work with a lot of devs and games for whom this is important going forward.
Fallout 76 does not support crossplay, for a number of reasons. I have no idea if it ever will. But I assure you it is not on our radar right now as we focus on B.E.T.A. and Launch.

It appears unlikely that Fallout 76 will get console cross-play support, or at least not any time soon. However, Bethesda has shown interest in cross-play in general, so they might pursue this for future games.
