Xbox-sjef usikker på om crossplay med PlayStation er mulig

Crossplay har vært veldig i vinden for tiden, spesielt etter at Microsoft for alvor har åpnet opp systemet sitt og lar spillerne sine spille både Minecraft og Rocket League med Switch-spillere. Det er begynnelsen på et langt og vakkert vennskap!

Men, Sony har satt seg på bakbeina og vil absolutt ikke være med på leken. Faktisk går de offentlig ut og nekter å i det hele tatt overveie muligheten for crossplay. Dette gjør så klart Phil Spencer usikker på om en union med Sony noensinne er mulig. I et intervju med Gamespot på Brazil Game Show sa Spencer følgende:

"We talk to Sony all the time. With Minecraft on PlayStation, we have to be one of the biggest games on their platform in terms of sales and gameplay. Same with Nintendo. The relationship with Nintendo on this front has been strong. They've been great supporters and we continue to collaborate with them. But I think Sony's view is different. They should talk about what their view is..."

"I have a real struggle making comments about their motivation or timelines. I know there is a certain view that says if my friends have this console, they can't play with people who buy another console. That's a reason they go buy my console. That reason is not going to go away. So we're putting Minecraft out there as one of the biggest games on any platform and allowing people to play together regardless of what device they bought. I don't think everybody is taking that same approach to the ecosystem. So I'm never going to call anything a lost cause but I think some of the fundamental reasons and certain scenarios, they're not really going away. So I don't know what would change."

Hva synes du om holdningen til Sony?
