The studio behind Fortnite has revealed that it will be making its cross-platform tools available free to developers next year.
Epic Games has obviously been at the forefront of cross-platform play in recent months, with its battle royale title embracing players across PlayStation 4, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One platforms. Sony was obviously last to jump on the bandwagon earlier this year, but the opportunity has always been there.
It's now taking the next step up, with Q3 2019 seeing the release of a number of cross-platform tools. Check them out below.
- Cross-Platform Login, Friends, Presence, Profile, and Entitlements (Q2-Q3 2019 on PC, other platforms throughout 2019)
