Introduction of Cross-Platform Play
Who cares what console you’re playing on if you can all play together anyway? While we’re still quite a way off from comprehensive cross-platform play on all titles, the fact that developers like Rocket League’s Psyonix have at least figured out a way to get the system working is a promising sign for the future of video games.
After all, if everyone can play together, what difference does it make what system you’re playing on? Sure, there will still be debates going on about which console offers better framerates, but at least with cross-platform play we’ll be able to settle it all with a friendly game of Rocket League or two instead. Besides, if Microsoft and Sony can put their differences aside to provide you with a universal online platform to play on, we certainly can too as we blast each other in the face.
