As Borderlands 3 gets full crossplay, what does it mean for the feature's future on PlayStation consoles
It may have taken over a year, but Borderlands 3 players on PlayStation are finally getting a taste of crossplay. In 2021, Gearbox introduced full crossplay for the game across its co-op mode. Unfortunately, PlayStation players were restricted, which has been the case with several other games in the past. As of yesterday, the restrictions have been lifted, and it could be a sign of certain things to come shortly.
Crossplay is one of the most sought-after features in video games today over the rise of different consoles. While every player has a personal preference, their demand is the ability to play with and against each other irrespective of the system being used. Many games are increasingly launching with crossplay, and Borderlands 3 received similar treatment across its co-op mode. There was only one exception, with Sony keeping crossplay restricted on their consoles, which has now changed.
Sony keeping crossplay features locked on their consoles isn't a new thing. There are other titles with much more online gameplay aspects than Borderlands 3, which have had restrictions on crossplay in the past.
The biggest name, for example, is that of Fortnite. Epic's iconic battle royale title offers crossplay between even handheld devices and consoles. Unfortunately, PlayStation users stayed outside the loop and had to play amongst themselves. A similar incident occurred with Rocket League, but as of today, both games have crossplay enabled.
Incidentally, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was released with a full crossplay on March 25 of this year, which Gearbox also developed. During the release of that game, CEO Randy Pitchford announced that Borderlands 3 getting crossplay was something he considered "inevitable."
