Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard suggests there is no cross-play in Fallout 76 due to resistance from Sony.
It looks as though there will be no cross-play in Fallout 76 due to Sony’s resistance around allowing cross platform interaction between PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
In a video interview with German website GameStar, Bethesda Game Studios’ Todd Howard was asked about the possibility of cross-play in Fallout 76, which is set to release on November 14 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
Howard says that cross-play is not an option for Fallout 76, explaining that « we would love to do that, but right now that’s not possible. Sony isn’t being as helpful as we want them to be. »
Despite recent comments made by Sony CEO Shawn Layden about how the company is listening to players and hinting at the possibility of a change of heart, The company has been notorious in its reluctance to join in on cross-play capability with other consoles.
It’s currently not clear if there will be cross-play between either console and the PC, but as of right now, it doesn’t seem like it will be happening between the two console versions.
