After its public tussle over cross-play in Fortnite, the PlayStation maker is taking flak from yet another developer. This time, its from the CEO of Paladins and Smite developer Hi-Rez Studios.
After dragging its feet for quite a while, growing criticism from competitors, gamers, and developers alike forced Sony to finally allow cross-play between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners for Fortnite and, just last month, Rocket League.
Sony is still fiercely territorial about its player base, however, and more developers are now chiming in to argue for cross-play being more commonplace in the console world. The CEO of Hi-Rez Studios – developer of popular MOBA Smite and online multiplayer shooter Paladins – is now asking Sony to ‘stop playing favourites’ and open up cross-play for all games, and not just the two mentioned above.
