Xbox One and PC Rocket League players will be able to play against each other from today, Psyonix has announced, with the introduction of cross-network play.
The cross-network update is due to release worldwide from 11pm BST tonight, making Rocket League the first Xbox One game to offer online play against players on another platform. There is currently no indication as to whether the PS4 game will be made cross-compatible with Xbox One.
“We’re really excited to bring Xbox One and PC players closer together,” said Psyonix VP Jeremy Dunham. “Cross-network play has been something that Xbox One gamers have been asking us for since the day we launched, and thanks to Microsoft’s new cross-network policies, we’re proud to give it to them.”
Microsoft announced that it would be enabling cross-platform play on Xbox Live in March, potentially opening the door for Xbox One and PS4 players to play together online. Sony later said that it would be “happy” to discuss the possibility of cross-console play with publishers and developers, but has yet to confirm any plans. The platform holder already allows PS4/PC cross-network play in certain games, including this year’s Street Fighter 5.
Rocket League launched on Xbox One in February, following its release on PS4 and PC last year.
