Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida chimes in on cross-platform play between PS4, PC and Xbox One

Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida, speaking with Eurogamer, has added his opinion to the notion of cross-platform play between Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.

“Since PC is an open platform, it’s much more straightforward, but connecting to different close networks is much more complicated, so we have to work with developers and publishers to understand what it is that they are trying to accomplish, and we have to look at the technical aspect,” Yoshida said. “The technical aspect could be the easiest, but we also have to look at the policy issues and the business issues as well, so we’ll work with publishers and developers.”

Not a yes, but certainly not a no.

Microsoft has recently said that games like Rocket League could go cross-platform, but Sony would have to approve the PS4’s inclusion.
