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.

It's seems Sony is not entirelly fine with allowing more games to have crossplay. People need to keep pushing for this.
Finn Brice, the CEO of Chucklefish, which developed and published the recent Advance Wars-inspired hit Wargroove, took issue with Layden’s characterization in a thread about the interview on the gaming forum ResetEra.
“We made many requests for crossplay (both through our account manager and directly with higher ups) all the way up until release month,” Brice wrote. “We were told in no uncertain terms that it was not going to happen.”https://kotaku.com/sony-says-its-open-for-business-on-ps4-cross-play-but-1832570505

Clearly I had too much faith in Sony.

@tokeeffe9 I think we should start to see them open it up to everyone. Devs and publishers would be at their throats if they started playing favourites.

it's free, multiplat, crossplay+save and it's on the Epic store. meaning every Fortnite player will open the epic launcher and see the game advertised front and center for the next couple of days at least.

Looks like the new CoD will have Cross Platform play, but it's still unclear what that will mean (ie. PC to each respective console, or everyone in a single pool). Ideally I think this would also have similar input based matchmaking similar to Fortnite, but that might be too optimistic.
-
^Plus.
The crossplay sort will be imput based, players will be pooled accordign to their imput device (MK, controller).

@lordbaztion that's great news. From the sounds of it they also semi-confirmed ps<->xbox crossplay as well, which I find the official information has been a little wishy washy on.

PUBG will be crossplay on consoles (X1/PS4), just announced at gamescom's inside xbox.
