Overwatch finally gets the much-awaited cross-play feature

Overwatch is a wonderful game, and we all like to play it with our friends and destroying our enemies in group battles. However, if there was anything that the game’s fans didn’t like, they all complained about the lack of cross-platform support.

The game is a masterpiece, but we can only play it with our friends who have the game on the same platform. But if you and your friends had different gaming platforms, then it was not possible to form a connection.

However, things have finally changed, and the Overwatch cross-play is now live. Starting yesterday, players across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch devices will be able to group up together and blast each other.

Players from all four platforms will play together in Quick Play, Arcade, and Custom game modes. But for now, Overwatch’s ranked Competitive mode is only available for console players. PC players will still be limited to the same PC player pool, mostly because of the advantages that mouse and keyboard players traditionally have in shooters.

Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch players will need to link their Blizzard Battle.net account to their console of choice to take advantage of cross-play. Cross-play was the biggest update that the game players across the world have been waiting for since major titles like Fortnite, Call of Duty Warzone, and Apex Legends already support the feature, which is increasingly becoming table stakes for the industry.

But the game still has a long way to go since it still crucially lacks cross-progression — which means that while players won’t be limited by which platform they play, any skins, emotes, or other cosmetic items that they’ve painstakingly unlocked over the years won’t be available elsewhere.

“It would probably make the most sense to tackle cross-play, first and then explore progression as a potential add-on in the future.”
