The game has been released on PC/Mac last year. If a game is released on multiple consoles and/or as a PC game in parallel, non-cross-platform multiplayer is most likely a design decision either due to contractual reasons or for fairness.Ī very recent example for both would be The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn is a perfect example, featuring cross-play between consoles and PC. Cross-platform gameplay is possible, if implemented. It's no real hardware or software limitation.
