The console players of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds can look forward to it. Soon you will be able to play together on PS4 and Xbox One.
What has been announced? During the “Inside Xbox” presentation, developers from PUBG also spoke. In addition to information about Season 4 of the Battle Royale, there are also announcements regarding crossplay.
Crossplay between the two consoles is said to be possible as early as next month, finally bringing together many friends with different consoles.
Crossplay for PUBG – When does it start?
When will crossplay be available? This feature is expected to launch on the test servers at the end of September. If everything goes smoothly there, it could be available for all players as early as October.
What exactly does crossplay mean? As an Xbox player, you can start matches with PS4 players. This was previously not possible. Now you can play together with friends, no matter which console you own.
This advantage brings crossplay: Waiting times in lobbies can be quite long in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Crossplay directly addresses this issue, as there are now more players who can be matched together in a game.
This was one of the developers’ goals, as Cecillia Lee, the community manager of PUBG, stated: “Our first goal with cross-platform play was to have 100 players from both console communities play in the same game. Our second goal was to improve our matchmaking times, which we expect to shorten due to the larger matchmaking pool.”
What about crossplay on PC? The developers haven’t said anything about this yet. It seems there are no concrete plans at this time.
This is interesting about crossplay: It is another case where crossplay between the PS4 and Xbox One is possible. Sony has often resisted this, but since this option became available in Fortnite, more and more games have followed suit and now also offer crossplay between consoles. The console war has thus been declared over by many players.
