PlayStation chief on why Sony took so long to enable console cross-play
On Tuesday, Sony finally announced - and enabled - console cross-play for PlayStation 4 with the launch of a beta test for Fortnite, caving in to fan pressure and negative press that had ramped up over the course of a year.
The pressure spiked with the launch of battle royale phenomenon Fortnite on the Nintendo Switch, and the revelation that you weren't able to use your existing Fortnite account on Nintendo's console if you had already used it on PS4.
That was back in June, but in truth the calls for Sony to enable console cross-play, as Microsoft and Nintendo had done, began long before then. So, what took Sony so long? It's a question PlayStation Worldwide Studios boss Shawn Layden addressed on the PlayStation Blogcast episode 308.
