Moreover, because the game is an online-only title, players can’t cross-play others on other systems.

' How come Fortnite and Rocket League could allow that by just flipping a switch and it actually happened by accident,' Twitter user 'Duck Man' asks, referring to Rocket League's limited cross-play between PlayStation 4 and PC users and an accidental activation of Xbox and PlayStation 4 cross-play in Fortnite earlier this month ahead of Sony's beta announcement, ' yet you couldn't manage to do it in 7 weeks, with no official plans to allow it in the future?'įallout 76 launches on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One - without cross-platform multiplayer - on November 14th.Fallout 76 is a role-playing game in which players create and play their characters and interact with other people in the world. While it's true that the game is now a mere seven weeks from release, the tight timescale has not deterred fans subscribing to a punctilious reading of the company's previous comments on the matter as being entirely due to Sony's now-changed position on allowing multiplayer functionality between the PlayStation 4 and rival consoles. I said it doesn't support it and it's not gonna be a focus at this point with B.E.T.A. and launch.' When asked to clarify why cross-platform multiplayer isn't possible, Hines clarified: ' I never said possible. But I assure you it is not on our radar right now as we focus on B.E.T.A. ' Fallout 76 does not support crossplay, for a number of reasons,' tweets communications senior vice president Pete Hines of Bethesda's work on the title.
With Sony now finally making progress on the matter, Fallout fans have turned to Bethesda to see if that means Fallout 76 will be cross-platform multiplayer compatible - and the answer is a firm no.

The company made a surprise volte-face last night, however, with the announcement that it would begin to allow developers to add cross-platform multiplayer to their games, starting with a beta of Fortnite Battle Royale. While most console manufacturers have cottoned on to the need to allow users to play multiplayer titles with their friends regardless of platform, Sony has long been reluctant to join its rivals Microsoft and Nintendo in allowing cross-platform play between consoles. Bethesda's Pete Hines has confirmed that Fallout 76, the first of the company's post-apocalyptic first-person shooter games to feature multiplayer functionality, will not support cross-platform multiplayer - despite his company having blamed Sony's now-changed stance on the matter for its previous absence.
