the development studio behind the futuristic football-racing hybrid <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rocketleaguegame.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rocket League<\/a>, has figured out how to implement cross-platform play between PS4 and Xbox One players, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/rocket-league-dev-on-xbox-oneps4-cross-play-weve-g\/1100-6435864\/\" target=\"_blank\">GameSpot reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The implementation will require some time, but Psyonix is confident that they have made it possible for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players to play Rocket League together.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only thing we have to do now is sort of find out where we stand politically with everyone, and then it&#8217;s full steam ahead to finish the solution that we&#8217;ve already started,&#8221; said the vice president of Psyonix.<\/p>\n<p>The studio has solved the problem of cross-play between the two consoles and simply has to wait until both parties agree to implementing cross-play for Rocket League before it can go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has <a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/86990-xbox-one-to-support-cross-platform-gaming-with-pc-ps4.html\" target=\"_blank\">previously announced<\/a> its stance on cross-play with other consoles, effectively inviting Sony to connect their gaming networks and promoting the concept of cross-play between all platforms.<\/p>\n<p>However, Sony has not been as open as Microsoft about its perspective on cross-play between the two consoles. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/sony-responds-to-microsofts-invite-to-connect-xbox\/1100-6435688\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sony said<\/a> that cross-play between PS4 and PC has happened and is not a problem for the company &#8211; failing to mention anything about the Xbox One.<\/p>\n<p>The ambiguous response that Sony gave to Microsoft&#8217;s invitation concerning cross-platform multiplayer does not confirm or deny whether cross-play between consoles will happen any time soon &#8211; but if it does, Rocket League is ready and waiting.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Sony reportedly developing PlayStation 4.5\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/87396-sony-reportedly-developing-playstation-4-5.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Sony reportedly developing PlayStation 4.5<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Overwatch\u2019s first animated short released\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/87392-overwatchs-first-animated-short-released.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Overwatch\u2019s first animated short released<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Permalink to Diablo\u2019s original pitch released after 20 years\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/87388-diablos-original-pitch-released-after-20-years.html\" rel=\"bookmark\">Diablo\u2019s original pitch released after 20 years<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psyonix Studios has figured out online multiplayer between Playstation 4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":232,"featured_media":87418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17572,91,261,1239,15155,14566,71,17570],"class_list":["post-87416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-cross-play","tag-microsoft","tag-multiplayer","tag-playstation-4","tag-psyonix","tag-rocket-league","tag-sony","tag-xox"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/232"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87418"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
