PlayStation finally concedes the crossplay war with Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is on the way, and one hot topic of debate was certainly crossplay. PlayStation is a platform notoriously close-minded to crossplay, at least until now. Sony may finally be ready to allow more games to have access to crossplay on their platform at launch.
