Rocket League klar til Xbox-PS4 crossplay, venter bare på Sony

Tidligere på året fortalte Psyonix, studiet bag Rocket League, at de arbejdede på at gøre det muligt for Xbox One og PlayStation 4-brugere at spille Rocket League mod hinanden. Spillet understøtter i forvejen at man kan spille mellem PC og én af de to konsoller, men nu ville studiet altså gøre det muligt for spillere på de to konsolfamilier at dyste mod hinanden.

Og teknikken er nu på plads, siger Jeremy Dunham fra Psyonix til IGN. De skal bare trykke på knappen, og så vil PS4- og Xbox One-folket kunne spille Rocket League mod hinanden i løbet af et par timer.

Så hvad venter de på? At Sony giver dem lov. Ifølge Dunham trækker det i langdrag at få tilladelse fra Sony til at lancere den nye feature.

"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."

"Sony's such a big company that I'm sure it takes a while for them to figure out what it is that the roadblocks are, what sort of issues they might run into with other titles, any number of things that I can't even begin to speculate on. We definitely ask them for updates often, and we're still very confident that they're eventually going to open those doors and welcome us in, but we also are really understanding that it's going to take a while especially given all the ramifications of everything. It was just as much of a surprise to them as I think the rest of the world when Microsoft said that they would do it."

Hvis du ikke kender Rocket League, så er det kort sagt et spil hvor biler med raketmotorer spiller fodbold. Og det var et af sidste års absolut bedste multiplayer-spil.
