Extended Fortnite Cross-Play Beta Finally Launches on PS4!

From the 'better late than never' department, since their previous stance on cross-play it appears Sony is finally adding cross-platform features to the Fortnight Beta on PlayStation 4!

This was confirmed by Sony Interactive Entertainment President and Global CEO John Kodera who made the announcement for select third party content.

Here's what he had to say on bringing some cross-play features to the PS4, to quote: Following a comprehensive evaluation process, SIE has identified a path toward supporting cross-platform features for select third party content.

We recognize that PS4 players have been eagerly awaiting an update, and we appreciate the community’s continued patience as we have navigated through this issue to find a solution.

The first step will be an open beta beginning today for Fortnite that will allow for cross platform gameplay, progression and commerce across PlayStation 4, Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Mac operating systems. We see the beta as an opportunity to conduct thorough testing that ensures cross-platform play is best on PlayStation, while being mindful about the user experience from both a technical and social perspective.

For 24 years, we have strived to deliver the best gaming experience to our fans by providing a uniquely PlayStation perspective. Today, the communities around some games have evolved to the point where cross-platform experiences add significant value to players.

In recognition of this, we have completed a thorough analysis of the business mechanics required to ensure that the PlayStation experience for our users remains intact today, and in the future, as we look to open up the platform.

This represents a major policy change for SIE, and we are now in the planning process across the organization to support this change. We will update the community once we have more details to share, including more specifics regarding the beta timeframe, and what this means for other titles going forward.

[KingSheh]

season 6 anyone ?

 

[PLAYER 1]

this will cause many people will put the exploit aside to play this way.
thousands of ps4 are sleeping in their boxes right now, this is the get up and walk! call.

 

[FalconIndestro]

Exciting news. Even these nuns were excited that they party all night when the news of Fortnite cross plataform on PS4 came out!

Jokes aside, Fortnite isn't my cup of tea. Many PS4 users do play it, because is a F2P game and you don't need the Plus sub (more than half of PS4 users don't have Plus, imo) to be able to play it on PS4, where on XBOX ONE you do need the gold sub.! But is the trend right now (including BR games) so people do follow trends.
