Sony won’t let “Fortnite” players on PS4 play with other platforms
Microsoft and Sony directly compete in the video-game market, where the PlayStation 4 has a commanding lead over the Xbox One in hardware sales numbers.
Since last year, Microsoft has been pushing the concept of “cross-platform” play: the ability to play games like “Minecraft,” “Fortnite,” and more with friends on PC, smartphone, and even Nintendo’s Switch.
Sony refuses to allow games on the PlayStation 4 to work with games on Microsoft’s Xbox One and the Switch.
Sony president Kenichiro Yoshida reaffirmed that stance in a recent interview: “On cross-platform, our way of thinking is always that PlayStation is the best place to play. ‘Fortnite,’ I believe, partnered with PlayStation 4 is the best experience for users, that’s our belief.”
