Cross-Platform Hype

Hello, gamers. Back again with another blog post. What I want to mention to you now, though, is a bit of a shout-out to Hi-Rez Studios. They are getting a cross-platform system and I know you guys are hyped for it. I know I am. But PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch are getting it and they haven't included PS4 yet. That's just not right, but there is one explanation.

Sony has a PlayStation Cross-Platform program and they have Fortnite and Rocket League in their program. That is the reason why they haven't included PS4 yet, but Titan Forge and Evil Mojo have did some database work in taking the servers down for up to 24 hours to merge players across all platforms. As they said, cross-platform will go live in the 6.1 update for SMITE and the 2.2 update for Paladins. If both of these updates go live, PC, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch players will see the cross-play setting and can play with each other while we PS4 players won't see the cross-play setting because we have to wait until Sony adds them to their program to make it 100% epicness (25% on each platform), so it's not full cross-play fun yet. While the PlayStation Cross-Play program is in a Beta stage, they'll add more games including SMITE and Paladins to their program, so I made a wish list of games that I want to be added to their program, including fighting games, both western and Japanese.

Well, that's all I had to say in this blog post. Remember, Paladins is upgrading to 2.1 tomorrow and Realm Royale is upgrading tomorrow also. Well, for PC and Xbox One. PS4 will get it in a later date. Signing out.
