There were plans to make BL3 cross platform right?

[ Question ] ❔

I remember hearing that cross play was coming eventually, and I’m just hoping it is coming sometime soon. I have a few friends that play on XBox and PC but I’m on PS4. Do you think they would add that towards the end of BL3’s run after all the DLC?

They never promised it, they only said that it may happen after launch. I can't see it happening anytime soon, but if it is happening i'm guessing we would see it around dlc 3 or 4's release.

Two days ago from Gearbox CCO Dan Hewitt :

Of course, fans of the game who own it on non-PC platforms are likely to be holding out hope for crossplay support to extend to the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. According to Hewitt, “It’s always something that we are looking at. [There are] lots of different things that we can do, but for right now, we’re focused just right now on DLC 2, making sure that that’s a success, and making sure that [with] PC crossplay, we could welcome our Steam Community back to Pandora. Those are the things that we’re just focusing on right now.”

TBH, I'd be a little pessimistic. I'd be happy with cross saves even (and you'd think more game devs would push that, since you'd think it lead to more sales as people buy on multiple platforms).

I think it was just another consumer-friendly buzzword to throw around while marketing the game before release. They keep saying "we're always considering it, but we're focusing on the next DLC". I'm not knocking them or anything, and maybe we'll get it in the distant future when they're finished releasing the season pass content, but I wouldn't get your hopes up for it happening anytime soon.

I doubt it would be cross play between with PC due to mods and what not but consoles for sure

Don't think this will happen. SONY basically won't allow it on PS4.

This is nonsense. It's up to the devs. Sony is not blocking anything. Cod already has crossplay as well as other games.
