As Xbox and Switch enter a new era of cross-platform gameplay, PlayStation seems intent on remaining an island.
It's an open secret: for well over a year, Sony has been the only roadblock to multiplayer games that work across Xbox and PlayStation. You could have been playing Destiny, Overwatch, Titanfall or Grand Theft Auto without leaving any of your friends behind.
Sure, playing games across different living room consoles has never been the norm. But things change -- and last July, zany explosive racing football game Rocket League made it crystal-clear that Sony's selfish business decision is the only thing standing in the way.
"We're literally at the point where all we need is the go-ahead on the Sony side and we can, in less than a business day, turn it on and have it up and working no problem. It'd literally take a few hours to propagate throughout the whole world, so really we're just waiting on the permission to do so," Rocket League VP Jeremy Dunham told IGN.
That permission never came. (And Sony didn't respond to CNET's request for comment on this story).
