The developer behind Rocket League, Psyonix, has confirmed that the cross-network feature for the game to interact between Xbox One and Playstation 4 gamers is now complete and ready to be rolled out – if Sony executives will approve the request.
This information comes from Psyonix’s Vice President, Jeremy Dunham who says:
“Right now, we’re literally at the point where all we need is the go-ahead on the Sony side and we can, in less than a business day, turn it on and have it up and working no problem. It’d literally take a few hours to propagate throughout the whole world, so really we’re just waiting on the permission to do so.”
The news now relies on Sony given the ‘thumbs up’ for approval, as Microsoft’s networks fully support the cross-network communication. Dunham carry’s on to state that Sony is a big company and that this type of feature may take some time to roll out and integrate with the Playstation Network. By enabling this feature for Rocket League, Sony may need to open the support for other games available on the Playstation Network, which could mean redesigning different parts of their online services to make it happen.
Rocket League is currently available for the Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC.
