All is amazing! But why no PvP Crossplay?

[Chrysalis Calypso]

Best combat gameplay and the legendary 40k aesthetics, i love it!
But circumstances have it that I have to play on pc for now and all of my boys remain on ps5. It´s great that we can play the campaign and the side quests together, but the real endgame is definately gonna be PvP and that I will have to do alone while every one of my people are teaming up on ps5.
Why exactly is that?

If people complain in crossplay pvp, wouldnt it be better to just have the option to turn it off in the settings? Isn´t it just another matchmaking setting to only look for players with the option turned either on or off? It can´t be that hard to implement, right?

How it is now, the whole endgame is diminished for people with a mixed platform community...

Sony has a history of having games that connect to Xbox as well suffer unfortunately. Legally, they don't like the standard that Xbox sets for their Voice Chat or play experience. They are normally lenient on the PC side, but I think stipulating that Sony can only crossplay with PC and not Xbox in this instance would be too much legal and financial trouble.

[Chrysalis Calypso]

But there already is crossplay, just not in pvp modes (where I would love it aswell) ...
I don´t get how that would be a legal issue

[firebat47]

Umm. There is Crossplay PVP. Check that you have Crossplay enabled in you settings.

I always assumed it was the controller vs mouse/kb thing.

There is no legal issue, it's because of skill gap as the developers have already stated.
After playing pvp with both controller and kb+m however, they both feel great and can get consistent kills either way, the barrier just feels completely redundant.

Space Marine 1&2 can be played at high level with KB&M or gamepad just like Gears of War and Halo, theres no excuse for segregated crossplay to PC-only and Console-only in 2024 when the game's skill gap is more than just raw aim mechanical skill

The player count and matchmaking will suffer dramatically longterm in PvP if this is not changed later on

Trust me you're not going to play PvP regardless of options

[King Cluck]

lol, pvp cross play... pc gamer to looking to dump all over controller players.

I guess you missed the part where this game's PVP died in three weeks the last go round.

Given the amount of cheating and the game being leaked, it's going to be the same this time.

The game isnt realeased yet and probably has a small console community

I´m actually doing pvp all day and it´s awesome thank you very much!
I just can´t play it with ma boys
(that´s why I did this threat ( which was actually for the devs to read anyway. don´t know why everyone is stating their irrelevant opinions that don´t even match what I originally wrote))

[BabyPants]

So bummed as a console peasant I can’t play pvp with my pc bros. Hopefully this gets added soon

[Dan Toomey]

They really need to make the PVP cross play. It makes no sense that you make the story cross play and not the PVP my friend and I got this game to play together. He is on PS five and I am on PC. We play the story mode together, but that’s stupid. We want to get into competitive PVP against other people, other major have PVP this game should be no different

As soon as you switch from story mode to pvp it kicks the console or pc player(s) from the host, was bummed when that happened to me this morning while playing with my console friends :c
