“It’s because of you, our fans, and our generous partners on all systems and services that have made this possible in the first place,” said Psyonix’s VP of Publishing Jeremy Dunham. The studio thanked fans for their continued support and for keeping Sony's feet to the fire regarding allowing cross-play.
However, they did not announce a timeframe for the update only saying that it is “coming soon.” Now all four platforms - PS4, XB1, Switch, and PC - can play Rocket League together.ĭevelopers are working on an update that will allow cross-platform party selection. Players can create a squad consisting of friends, but only in a private match. When joining a public game, players are placed on teams randomly across all platforms. Currently, matchmaking is entirely random. Now, PlayStation 4 users can play and compete with Xbox One and Nintendo Switch Rocket League players as well.Īs of today, Psyonix has enabled cross-play on the PS4 by default with only a few limitations. Previously the console maker only allowed cross-play between the PlayStation 4 and PC, even though developer Psyonix claimed clear back in 2017 that it could have cross-platform support enabled on the PS4 in under an hour if Sony would allow it. “With special thanks to all of our friends and colleagues at PlayStation, we are thrilled to announce that starting RIGHT NOW, Rocket League has entered the PlayStation Cross-Play Beta program,” states the Psyonix press release.
The policy change came after continued nagging from RL fans and follows a similar allowance for cross-play support in Fortnite last September. Starting today PlayStation 4 Rocket League players can compete with and against users on Xbox One, Switch, and PC.Īfter more than a year of pressure, Sony has finally caved and is allowing full cross-platform play for Rocket League.
Long awaited: After seemingly continuous pestering from fans, it appears that Sony may finally be relaxing its policies regarding cross-platform play.
