@lordbaztion Oh baby. I am hyyype for that. I've pumped an insane amount of hours into D3 across several version.
Fingers crossed for Destiny as well.

Oh God, Cross play with Diablo is something I might actually get excited about, along with all my fighting games
-
@lordbaztion This is fantastic news, across the board. Clearly it's still very early days, but the momentum here is very exciting.

Just updated the title to Cross Play since that fits the topic a lot more now.

Games I really want to have cross play:
Diablo 3
Destiny 2
Path of Exile
WarframeBut realistically none of those will ever be cross play.

@el-shmiablo
They may never have cross play, but this games not having some kind of cross progression baffles me.

@tokeeffe9 If we want to get specific, the title should be Cross Platform Play

At GDC 2019, Microsoft is set to debut a new cross-platform development platform with the goal of bringing Xbox Live support to games on Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, in addition to PC and Xbox consoles.
-
@lordbaztion Other than Minecraft, what would this be used for? I doubt Nintendo are going to suddenly adopt Xbox Live for their games.
-
@el-shmiablo I believe are tools for developers to make their multiplayer games based on XBL, so it could have crossplay. I guess it's aimed towards indie developers to ease their development workload. Probably that's why MS hired Damon Baker. Most certainly Nintnedo and big publishers won't use this as they can afford their own online infraestructure.
-
@lordbaztion You can earn achievements on the Switch for Minecraft. XBL is already on Switch in a way.

Respawn wants to add crossplay to Apex
Lead Producer at Respawn, Drew McCoy, told Eurogamer that the developer "plans to allow players to play with their friends on other platforms" sometime in the future.
EA looks for crossplay in future titles.
"We think cross-play and cross-progress is going to be a very important part of our future, and you should anticipate that we'll be doing more in that space," Wilson said. "What our information would suggest to us is that there isn't a tremendous amount of play across devices, but that overall liquidity in any gaming community is a good and positive thing, even if it's only a few people or a small portion of the community that utilizes that.
