The topic of cross-play between game consoles and platforms is becoming an increasingly controversial one, with Sony’s insistence on not supporting it to Microsoft and Nintendo promoting it even more. Xbox Corp VP Mike Yabarra shares his take on the situation and his interest in all PC and Xbox One Games Crossplay.
PC and Xbox One Games Crossplay
Mike talks about his desire for all Xbox One and PC games to have crossplay, check out his tweet below
I really want cross progression on all games. I play on PC and Xbox so much, wish all games supported this. The people I play with do the same so we constantly debate to play new games together on PC or Xbox – just shouldn't need to be a discussion. Let's make it happen!

This isn’t surprising or something that is insanely technologically advanced that it isn’t possible, many games currently have crossplay between various platforms, the most popular among them is Fortnite, which can be crossplayed between PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and your mobile device, all but the PS4.
Not only this, but Rocket League also supports crossplay, not just that between even free to play games like Gwent have that, and it is for a fact the much-needed feature in all multiplayer and co-op games, having the ability to play with your friends on any platform is a very consumer friendly concept.
If what Mike Yabarra wants actually does show some progress and there is a possibility for something like to happen, I’m sure there is no one who would protest this kind of consumer-friendly practice, as the response is quite clear from the players, that locking your accounts to play on a single platform isn’t something anyone appreciates.
If you’re on a Nintendo Switch or Xbox One and have a friend with either of those consoles, we have made a list of every currently available and upcoming game that supports crossplay between the two platforms, you can check them out here, these include games from racing to puzzles and the popular Battle Royale games as well.
