Rocket League Developers Have Worked Out Cross-Network Play
The developers behind the popular game Rocket League have been working on a secret project of sorts. They’ve been searching for a way to bring together the gamers who are playing Rocket League on Xbox Live or the PlayStation Network together into one game. Full cross-network play. A bold goal, and one that’s truly never been done before.
Well, in an interview with Gamespot, Psyonix vice president Jeremy Dunham said:
“Technologically everything works, we’ve got it figured out, just a little bit of time to get everything up and running. Right now, excitement is the best way to put it. We just want to get in there and make it happen.”
However, there are still some hurdles to jump through before this can happen, as he notes:
“The only thing we have to do now is sort of find out where we stand politically with everyone, and then it’s full steam ahead to finish the solution that we’ve already started.”
As for why the company devoted time to try and make this happen, the answer tied right back into the game itself.
“More players, for everyone, means more games, and more games means more participation and community feedback, which we can then put into the game as a whole and not have to worry about siloing off certain features of certain platforms because this version doesn’t have it, or whatever the situation may be.”
