Borderlands 3 is finally getting full post-Go-Ahead cross-play from PlayStation
Borderlands 3 is finally getting cross-play after PlayStation initially blocked the feature.
As reported by GameSpot, developer Gearbox announced at PAX East that cross-play would arrive this spring, meaning players on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can all play together.
The studio announced last year that full cross-play was ready for Borderlands 3, but was ordered to remove the feature from PlayStation consoles.
However, cross-play was available in Gearbox’s latest game, as Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands included the feature since launch last month, allowing up to four players to play together online regardless of platform.
Sony has historically resisted letting its players join its competitors’ platforms, but Titanic titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Rocket League have helped make cross-play the norm.
Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida previously commented that “we always think PlayStation is the best place to play,” prompting significant backlash from gamers across platforms.
A few years later in 2022, several games support crossplay, including Rainbow Six Extraction, MLB The Show, and Overwatch. PlayStation boss Jim Ryan made the turnaround clear, saying last June that the publisher supports and encourages the feature.
In our 9/10 review, IGN said, “Borderlands 3 sticks to its guns and outdoes itself with an amazing arsenal of weaponry, humor and missions.”
