It came as a bit of a surprise when Sony officially announced PS4 cross-play support for Fortnite back in September last year and Xbox gave an awesome response that you should really check out if you missed it back then. Not everything was sunshine and roses, however, as some developers felt like Sony was playing favourites regarding PS4 cross-play support.

It has definitely been a long time coming and now, according to a report by Wired, PS4 cross-play is out of its beta phase and open to all developers. This information comes from an interview with Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan while speaking about the recent PlayStation Now updates. Right at the bottom, the report reads:
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”#16DDEB” class=”” size=”22″]While it’s not announcing the news explicitly, the PS4’s cross-play efforts have officially moved out of the beta stage, meaning that the console can support cross-play on any titles that studios provide the functionality for.[/perfectpullquote]
It will be exciting to see which titles add PS4 cross-play support. Further, the next big title that has been advertising cross-play is none-other than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which is set to release on 25 October 2019. It has been a long time coming and hopefully, games like Borderlands 3 will get support for the feature soon. We already have games like Rocket League and extremely popular monster-hunting title, Dauntless, offering cross-play, as well as Fortnite, obviously.
