Cross-platform multiplayer

[darkscissors]

I dont know much about the engine the game is on other than its not too great. If cross platform multiplayer is even remotely possible, would someone share ?
By cross platform multiplayer i mean xbox people can play with pc people and ps4 people can play with xbox and pc people and such.

Considering how far behind the console versions are, very not possible

If I recall correctly, the update they just got was TU100. We're on what...?: TU150?

What does that even mean? When it comes to cross-platform play, it's not a simple flick of the wand. If we wanted to connect to filty plebs on Xbox, Microsoft would have to condone of it. Same goes for Playstation and Sony.

Not only do the companies have to OK it, but they also have to integrate the technology required to even do such a thing. I'm not too sure about the current standing of consoles, because quite frankly I couldn't care less, but the last time I checked, the idea of cross-platform play is actually in the works, or at least being discussed.

Also, this is more of an opinion on my part, but due to the horrid hardware they have- not in the consoles, but the controllers- things such as aiming would be unfathomably difficult for a console player in contrast to that of a PC user. As such, they would be used as a mop from a stanard Zeal unit- moreso than we already do.


Just imagine a level 42 from Xbox joining One Down Goat Simulator... God...

I think it'd be great for Payday 3, but that would mean update the consoles versions at the same pace than the pc version

Sadly, as great as it would be, as far as I know it's up to Microsoft and Sony whenever THEY want to enable cross platform or not, the devs can just ask them, but they will most likely say no. (See Rocket League)

That would be impossible. To be compatible with the new content, that content would need to be installed in the game to work. And that would require updates.

Because Source is a lot more stable than Diesel, and it has support for that kind of feature. In Payday 2, if something's missing, the game instantly crashes.
