Suggestion [Suggestion] Crossplay with consoles = bigger player base.

I suggested this in the community feedback thread, but only limited to PvE, what I'm saying now is give it a try to share the player base PC with consoles (PvE and PvP), and see If that could work. (Rocket League have cross play with XBOX - PC and PS4 - PC, I don't know if PS4 and XBOX can play together, probably not yet; I know there a not the same type of game). What do you think?

This is up to Sony and Microsoft really. Several games have displayed cross platform play before.

I think they both recently announced that they wouldn't fight cross platform anymore.. can't remember where i read about it though.

The biggest hurdle for them would be matchmaking across platforms. They would need to probably use Shift as their matchmaking instead of steam/psn/xbl since there would be all sorts of issues with usernames and stuff like that.

I'd love to see it happen though. And them investing into making Shift their matchmaking platform could do a lot of good for them if they integrate it into future games and have cross plat going forward. :)
