One of the features fans have waited for is almost here: Cross-Network Play is coming to Xbox One and Windows 10, meaning Microsoft will finally let players compete against others online who play a game on different consoles or computers.
Gamers have long wished to play games against others, and one of the first titles already confirmed to make use of this feature is Rocket League. According to Chris Charla, Director at ID@Xbox, “We’re thrilled to confirm that Psyonix’s Rocket League will be one of the first games to take advantage of this new capability by enabling cross-network play between Xbox One and PC players, with an open invitation for other networks to participate as well.”
Though this new feature will be up to developers to make use of, will developers take advantage of this feature? It’d be great to see owners of Rocket League on Xbox One play the game against owners of the PlayStation 4 version.
Will this feature be enough to bring Street Fighter V to the Xbox One and Windows 10? We can only hope.
